This is such a delicious and simple way to cook salmon. It tales very little prep time and can be made with ingredients you probably have at home. It creates a moist and flavorful fish that everyone will enjoy!
TIPS: You can prep this ahead of time and pull out of the fridge when you are ready to bake. Just keep it covered in the fridge, up to 4 hours ahead. You can easily replace the salmon with other thicker, sturdier fish filets, such as fresh cod or sea bass. This is a carb-free dish so its perfect if you are trying to watch your carbohydrates or sugar.
