Ingredients
- 4 lb Alaska salmon skin on
- 2 Red Onions sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 2/3 cup green olives and Kalamata olives sliced
- 1/4 cup capers
- 2 lemons thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Place the side of Alaska salmon skin side down on the baking sheet.
- Place the sliced onions and cherry tomatoes all around the salmon.
- Drizzle olive oil on the veggies and a little bit on the Alaska salmon.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper and oregano on the salmon, onions and tomatoes.
- Add olives and capers to the Alaska salmon and veggies.
- Place the lemon slices on the salmon.
- Bake in the oven for about 22-25 minutes until the Alaska salmon is opaque and flaky. The internal temperature in the thickest part should be 145F.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- It's important not to over bake salmon as the fish will get dry and chewy. Ideal oven baked Alaska salmon is moist and flaky.
- For this recipe, we used a side of Alaska salmon and sliced it after cooking. If you prefer fillets, you can simply make oven baked salmon fillet by following the same instructions in the recipe.
- Herbs work perfectly in this recipe. For more flavor add some parsley and dill to the salmon once it's baked.
- Since this salmon recipe comes together in only 30 minutes and is packed with amazing flavors, it's a great option for busy weeknight dinners. As the Alaska salmon is baking, make a quick salad and you'll have a full meal.
- If you would like to cook frozen salmon, simply thaw it in the fridge overnight and then proceed with this recipe. Do not thaw salmon in the microwave.
