Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs fresh salmon filets skin on 1" thick (See Note 1)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 300°F.

  6. Remove from oven and baste with glaze. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Typically 4 individual filets, depending on size. If using frozen, thaw and allow to come to room temperature before cooking.
  • You can substitute 1/4 tsp powdered horseradish.
