Baked salmon recipe
A simple and quick recipe for baked salmon recipe using a spicy chilli garlic and pepper marinade. Perfect easy fish recipe for dinner.
Ingredients
- 200 gram salmon fillet
For marinade
- 1 tsp chilli powder adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder (or use 1/2 tsp freshly minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder optional
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 tsp lime juice
- 3 tbsp oil I used coconut oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 320F/160C
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the marinade to make a thick paste
- If it’s too thick, add more lime juice or 1-2 tsp water to make it spreadable
- Wash and pat dry the salmon fillet
- Cut out a piece of aluminium foil large enough to wrap your salmon fillet
- Take a baking pan (I use a pyrex glass baking pan) and place the aluminium foil inside
- Place the salmon in the foil
- Marinate generously with the marinade paste using your fingers or a pastry brush
- Pour a few drops of oil on top if the marinade looks too dry
- Cover with the aluminium foil
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15-20 mins for the salmon to be well done
- Bake for a shorter duration if you like your salmon medium-done
- The baking time will also depend on how thick your salmon fillet is, mine was about 1.5” thick in the thickest part
- Serve warm with a salad, pasta, roasted vegetables, potato mash, etc
