More Seasoning options

This recipe has a very simple seasoning. I did that because I want you to be able to make this dish. The more seasoning and I might spook some of you.

So for the adventurous, I’m sharing some more spice and herb seasoning options. Use one of these options but not together!

  • ginger – a pinch freshly grated or powdered. Give it an Asian touch.
  • tamarind paste – a tbsp for a tart and rich undertone.
  • cumin and coriander seeds – 1/2 tsp each for an Indian flavor approach
  • turmeric – 1/2 tsp, healthy and also very Indian. You can add it to the cumin and coriander.
  • dijon mustard – a tbsp to pep up your salmon
  • oregano and rosemary – for Mediterranean flavors.

You can also add 1 tbsp of a seasoning blend to the existing basic seasoning in the recipe, such as Italian seasoning, Herbes de Provence or Za’atar.

Serving

I totally recommend to cut some lemon or lime slices to serve along the fish. Citrus flavors just take the dish to a whole new level!

We love salmon at home and so we tend to serve most of our baked salmon meals with cooked instant wheat berries.

Parsley potatoes and aromatic rice with clove is another favorite.

Feel free to roast some root vegetables such as carrots, rutabaga, turnips, beets, and potatoes and serve them with your fish.

If you want a sauce with that, I recommend a hollandaise served along the fish.

What to do with cooked leftovers?

Store your cooked salmon leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge and use up within 3 days.

I don’t recommend freezing leftovers, cooked fish shouldn’t be frozen because it’s not healthy and it’s just not right.

I love turning the salmon fillet into chunks, which I then add to pasta, rice, and mixed into cooked veggies.

You can just warm up your whole salmon fillets and enjoy it the same way as I described in the serving options. Just don’t over heated or else the fish will get dry and boring.

FAQs

What salmon can you use?

This recipe uses salmon filet. You can use fresh or frozen, and thawed, salmon filet. Try to use fish that comes from a sustainable and fair place and fish that is antibiotic and hormone free (you don’t want that stuff in your body right?)

What temperature to bake salmon?

Bake your salmon filet covered at 350 Fahrenheit or 180 Celsius.

How long to bake salmon?

Salmon cooks really fast, the fish fillets will take about 10-12 minutes to cook through. Bake covered, to retain the moisture in the meat.

In what can I bake the salmon?

I use a rectangular casserole baking dish because that’s the easiest way to cover the fish with tin foil. You can use a sheet pan laid out with parchment paper.
