Baked Salmon Recipe

Reviewed on May. 05, 2013 by WifeMadeMeCook

I've made this recipe several times now. It's great with either chicken stock or white wine but I prefer the chicken stock option. Great recipe - easy, fast and delicious!!

Just the recipe I was looking for - an easy tasty baked salmon dish! Lemon slices on top while it baked gave it extra-fresh lemon flavour.

Fantastic! I made this with 2, 6 oz. salmon fillets in a 9 x 9 baking dish. Used half the ingredients and olive oil instead of butter, white wine was a Gavi. Baked for 21 minutes. Best salmon I have ever tasted, and excellent paired with the Gavi.

Thanks!

I have made this recipe and it always turns out fresh and perfect! Often times, I'll change it up a bit by putting thinly sliced onions and sliced lemons on the top while it bakes..

This is my new favorite way to make salmon. Usually I sautee with garlic & lemon, but this came out really moist and the tarragon definitely added a delightful dimension without being overpowering. I usually serve my 5 yr old with some mayo on the side. He decided to try it without and said it was better without it. I was astonished. I didn't have a full two pounds but I still used the entire liquid.I think that's what made it so moist. It turned out perfect. Sadly it was better than most restaurant salmon. Why go out when it's usually served dry?

Nothing exceptional, but a good basic way to cook salmon.

This Salmon was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it. I Had no Tarragon, so made it with dill.

I don't like salmon at all but this recipe is wonderful. I didn't have tarragon but substituted fresh dill. The recipe is a keeper!

I followed the directions opting for wine over chicken broth and I actually cooked it for only 18minutes. It melted like butter in my mouth!! Best salmon I have EVER had that includes all 5 star restaurants I have dined at. My husband couldn't get enough of it! The liquid surrounding the salmon plays a huge roll as well as cooking time. I wouldnt suggest cooking any longer then 18 minutes.

This was wonderful! My son who HATES fish said it was pretty good. He had two or three helpings so that is saying a lot! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Also - to the person below that said it was too dry - maybe this had something to do w/ what you baked it in or your fish/liquid ratio or maybe even baking too long? I've had dry salmon and this was NOT it. I would strongly suggest trying this one again in a different way.

I have to start by saying this is not the type of recipe I typically go for w/ salmon. I usually do a sesame ginger-style or a maple-glaze and like to grill on cedar planks. My wife hates seafood, so when she is gone for the night, my daughter and I have our special seafood nights :) Anyway, we didn't have a lot of time and I found this and decided to try it and am very impressed. If you love the taste of salmon, don't want to overpower it and want a juicy piece of salmon - this is for you. My changes - I was out of butter, so I brushed with a lemon-infused olive oil. Also - I didn't have tarragon, so I put a little Italian seasoning and added some onion powder. I was drinking red wine and didn't have any white open, so went the chicken broth road. Cooked at 425 (about 1.25 lb filet) for about 23 min. It was EXTREMELY moist, I can't say enough about that. The biggest sin w/ salmon is when it is too dry and this recipe was a huge success in preventing that. Although I will stick w/ my cedar plank grilling, etc...when I bake again, I will absolutely use this again for my base recipe! Thanks for the suggestion!

I have made this at least twice per month. I use 1/2 tsp lemon pepper instead of lemon juice when I don't have lemons or lemon juice on hand. It's delicious!

Flavorful and moist! I made this using lemon-pepper because I didn't have any lemon juice on hand. It was delicious! I will make it again and again.

I made this recipe as a serving for one, using Smart Balance, a splash of white wine, squeeze of lemon juice, and salt/pepper. When it came out of the oven, I practically ate it right out of the baking dish at the stove!
