With the start of Lent, I don’t eat typical meat on Friday’s but I do still eat fish. With yesterday being the first Friday of Lent, we decided to make salmon and asparagus for dinner.
I haven’t always been good at baking salmon and honestly sometimes I’ve made it and have just thrown it away since it didn’t taste good. A few weeks ago when Keith’s parents were visiting from Montana his mom threw together a salmon recipe that has since become my favorite go-to recipe. It isn’t only super tasty, but it is so easy and quick to make too. No marinating here.
Easy Caesar Baked Salmon
Serves: 4
*This recipe is a more play it by ear recipe. I don’t have exact measurements and the below are just estimations of how much of each ingredient I use.
Ingredients
- 1tbsp olive oil
- Salmon, enough to serve 4, skin removed preferred
- 2tbsp Brianna’s Caesar dressing
- 1tsp garlic powder
- 1tsp vegetable seasoning
- 1tsp cumin
- 1tsp black pepper
- 1/4c breadcrumbs (you may not even need this much)
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Wash salmon and place on a foiled lined baking tray greased with olive oil.
3. lightly coat the salmon with the Caesar dressing and season with garlic powder, vegetable seasoning, cumin and black pepper. Add a dusting of breadcrumbs over the top.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the cut and thickness of your fish. Broil on high for 3 minutes before removing the salmon from the oven.
Enjoy!
*The baking time will also depend on how dry you like your salmon as well.
Serve with a side of asparagus and brown rice and you have yourself a complete balanced meal!
Or just have asparagus like we had last night! Delish!
Questions:
- Do you like salmon?
- What is your favorite salmon recipe?
Salmon is my number one favorite food ever (of any). I love it all. My favorite would have to be just grilled but I’m terrible at cooking. This looks pretty simple so perhaps I’ll be trying it.
I love love love grilled salmon as well. I think if it is made right, it is one of my favorite foods as well!
yum this looks fab! I have to go to Whole Foods and pick up some of that Brianna’s dressing. Speaking of dressing- you gotta try is called Garlic Expressions. Kind of hard to find, and usually in the fruits/veggies section of the grocery store. It is the best salad dressing ever!!!!! haha but back to the topic of salmon~ my favorite is blackened salmon or just plain salt n pepper with lemon baked salmon. So good. My favorite fish!
ill let u know how it goes! xo
Thanks for sharing. and btw, I’m making your tomato fennel soup for lunch today
I will look for that dressing, it sounds great!
i love salmon, when somebody else cooks it! i consider myself a good cook, but i cannot cook salmon…it’s either not cooked or too dry…not sure what i’m doing wrong but your recipe looks and sounds AMAZING!!! thanks for sharing…
I can’t really cook salmon either but this recipe to too easy to mess up!
I love salmon but didn’t have it for a while because the thought of it made me queezy during the 1st trimester. I think i’d be ok with it now so I’ll have to give it a try soon. This recipe sounds delicious!
I wasn’t a huge fan of fish during pregnancy either and still can’t stand any white fish. Makes me cringe!!!
The husband barbecues, & it’s always amazing. Not sure what he uses as a marinate (he makes it himself), but I’m not even a huge salmon fan & I love it!
