How to Bake Salmon

This baked salmon is the recipe you’ve been looking for! You know that perfectly flakey salmon texture you love and can only perfect once in a while or when you’re ordering at a restaurant?! Well, we’re here to make your baked salmon dreams come true with this perfectly cooked, perfectly saucy, perfect baked salmon. And it’s super easy to make.

Step 1:

There are seriously only two crucial steps to this recipe. 1: make sure you pat your un-seasoned salmon dry with a paper towel to draw out all the moisture before you pour the sauce over your filets and bake.

Step 2:

And 2: make sure you cook your salmon on high broil. I know the broiler can be a scary setting (we’ve all forgotten about hamburger buns we were just trying to lightly toast only to remember them when you catch a whiff of burnt-to-a-crisp bread…), but your baked salmon will NOT start on fire, and it WILL be perfectly flakey and delicious after the 8 minutes (seriously, the salmon filets will be cooked in under 10 min.) on high broil. Now all you need to do is decide what to serve with this deliciousness. Serve this baked salmon with our delicious Simple Asian Salad, or one of these other tasty salad pairings:

Maple Glazed Salmon Sauce

This sauce is perfectly tangy and sweet, and easy to whip up with just a few ingredients (seriously, only 3!!) that you likely already have in your cupboards at home, including: Soy sauce: we’ve tested this with both regular soy sauce as well as low sodium soy sauce, and both turned out great. Feel free to use whichever you prefer! Otherwise, coconut aminos will work as well. Maple syrup: we prefer to use 100% maple syrup for a much better flavor and no high-fructose corn syrup. Fresh grated ginger: the flavor of fresh-grated ginger will give this sauce the most delicious ginger-y tang. Simply scrape away the ginger peel with the side of a spoon, and then grate.
