Zesty Greek-Infused Oven-Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 5 oz each)
- 1/2 cup Greek dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). This will ensure the salmon cooks evenly for a juicy and flavorful finish.
2. Prepare the Salmon Fillets
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and makes for easy cleanup.
3. Season the Fillets
Lightly sprinkle each fillet with kosher salt and ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference for a balanced flavor.
4. Marinate with Greek Dressing
Pour the Greek dressing over the salmon fillets, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly coated. The dressing will infuse the salmon with a tangy and rich taste profile.
5. Drizzle with Olive Oil
Evenly drizzle the olive oil over the fillets. Olive oil will help crisp the top of the salmon while keeping the meat moist.
6. Bake the Salmon
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye on the fillets to prevent overcooking.
7. Rest and Serve
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent.
