Salmon baked in the oven is a healthy dinner you should have at least a couple of times a month. Salmon is also rich in protein and keeps your heart healthy with omega-3 fatty acids.
This beautiful piece of salmon lays in a thin coat of extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with magic salmon seasoning on top of it, and then baked in the oven for 45 minutes. Simple to make for your family and it tastes so delicious. This recipe uses fresh salmon that is not frozen, but if you have any frozen salmon in your freezer, try this method of cooking frozen salmon in the air fryer. It is so quick and easy to make!
Key Ingredients for Salmon in Oven
- 1 medium-size salmon fillet (about 2 and a half pounds)
- 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil
- Chef Paul Prudhomme’s magic salmon seasoning
A 2.45 pound farmed raised fresh Atlantic Salmon fillet was bought from Costco. What’s nice about a filleted fish is that the bones are removed, and this piece of Salmon we bought has no skin on the bottom side. Salmon is expensive, but Costco has a great selection of fresh fish to choose from at a competitive price.
Below is a photo of the 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, also bought at Costco, and the Chef Paul Prudhomme magic salmon seasoning.
