Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Equipment

  • Pyrex Easy Grab 4-Piece Value Pack, includes 1-ea 3-qt Oblong, 2-qtOblong, Red Plastic Covers (for this recipe, I used the 2-quart dish)
  • Extra Long Silicone Oven Mitts
  • Fish Turner
  • Warp Resistant sheet pan
  • Citrus Squeezer
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs fresh salmon
  • 5 tbsps olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning, divided (if going for low sodium, try Mrs. Dash lemon pepper seasoning)

Instructions

  • Pat dry the salmon and, if desiring sea salt, apply a few shakes over the salmon flesh.
  • Into a 2-quart baking dish, pour in the olive oil, juice of half a lemon and half of the lemon pepper. Disperse the marinade evenly, then place the salmon flesh down into the dish.  Let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours or less (or at least 30 minutes). 
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 375F. Flip the salmon skin side down. Re-season with ½ teaspoon lemon pepper, or more to cover. Bake for 25 min. When ready to serve, use the other half of the lemon for an extra lemony flavor. 
  • Serve salmon and other sides with slices of lemon. Make it extra lemony with another whole lemon to squeeze over everything.  

Notes

While using Mrs. Dash lemon pepper and lemon allows for a lower no-sodium dish, for an extra kick to the flavor, a few cracks of sea salt at the end will do the trick.
