Baked salmon recipe | Good Food

Baked salmon served with broccoli and a slice of lemon

4 skinless salmon
fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
or melted butter
chopped herbs
lemon slices and steamed long-stem broccoli, to serve (optional)

Method

step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Brush each salmon fillet with the oil or butter and season well.
step 2
Put the salmon fillets in an ovenproof dish. Cover if you prefer your salmon to be tender, or leave uncovered if you want the flesh to roast slightly.
step 3
Roast for 10-15 mins (or about 4 mins per 1cm thickness) until just opaque and easily flaked with a fork. Serve with a sprinkling of chopped herbs, lemon slices and steamed long-stem broccoli, if you like.
