Baked Salmon With Herbed Mayonnaise

Submitted by Chele_T

"I had baked salmon at a friend's house recently. (She is an Alaskan native and had some salmon she brought back from vacation. Yummy) She spread mayo and some seasonings on the fish then baked it. I had never heard of that before, but it was really good. I came up with my own twist using that idea. I made this last night and it was wonderful. Hope you enjoy!"

Way too much mayo. Needs more dill. Cook on parchment paper.

I love this recipe! I finally found a delicious and EASY way to prepare salmon! My salmon always came out dried and flovorless whenever I would pan fry it, but baking it with this mayo preparation seals in the flavor, and becomes this yummy sauce thats perfect for this fish. Thank you for posting this recipe, and for making me fall in love with salmon again. Its also good with broiled asparagus because the sauce is perfect for dipping with asparagus, too. Nom nom!
