Perfect Baked Salmon Recipe
Description
Perfect Baked Salmon is made by placing a whole salmon fillet skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. The flesh side is sprinkled evenly with brown sugar and a seasoning blend, such as Stone House brand seasoning. Baking takes about 12-15 minutes at 425°F until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
The brown sugar provides a mild caramelized sweetness that complements the seasoning mix’s savory elements. Baking the fish at a high temperature ensures the skin crisps slightly while the interior remains tender. The seasoning blend adds herb and spice complexity without overwhelming the delicate salmon flavor.
The salmon is served with optional fresh parsley and lemon wedges to add fresh herbal notes and acidity that balances the richness of the fish. This straightforward method is practical for a flavorful main dish without elaborate preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 salmon filet about 2 pounds, left whole
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon seasoning mix Stone House brand
Optional garnishes:

Instructions
