Recipe Notes

TIPS FOR BAKING SALMON

  • Start off with preheating the oven.
  • A high oven ensures the salmon gets a nice golden color at first, you may later drop the tempertaure 10 minutes into baking.
  • Bake the salmon in individual plates or a large dish.
  • Flavor the salmon lightly before baking but make sure you drizzle the dressing after baking. 
  • Check the salmon for doneness by pressing a finger gently into the middle. The fish should feel firm.
  • Make sure to drizzle the baked salmon with the Greek Dressing as soon as it comes out of the oven to allow for full flavor absorption.
  • Serve this easy baked salmon with Greek salad for the lightest possible dinner option or with a light quick pasta like this 10 min Greek cheese tortellini, a simple rice side dish, a loaf of crunchy bread to mop up the juices, or maybe these best herb roast potatoes?
