Baked Salmon

Submitted by LuuvBunny

"This makes for a very tasty salmon dish. It was not too over-powering like a lot of salmon recipes I have tried. I found this on a fishing website. I only had one fillet so I cut each ingredient in half and it was perfect. I also took the fish out of the foil packet near the end of the cooking time and just kept it in the oven to crisp up a bit (just my preference). Prep time includes the 1 hour of marinating."

This recipe does result in moist, flavorful salmon. I did cut back quite a bit on the salt. I used the specified amount of olive oil and felt that it could easily have been cut in half. Will try it again that way. Thank you for a good dinner.

Great flavour....I omitted the salt and replaced the parsley with cilantro...Opening the foil is a good idea so the fish isn't soggy. Great recipe,Thanx
