Baked Salmon

I am very picky when it comes to eating fish. Back in India I loved fish cooked in spicy gravy. After moving to US the only fish I ever bought was catfish. Over the years I tried couple other fishes but they didn’t appeal to me, so went back to eating only catfish.

I have heard a lot about how healthy salmon is. After hesitating a lot, finally decided to give it a try. Initially I marinated it with Indian tikka masalas along with ginger, garlic and yogurt.

Recently, this Italian seasoning sitting in my pantry made me try this new recipe. I added whatever I felt like adding. The result was a tender moist salmon which became an instant family favorite.



3 one inch thick Salmon steaks
2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
4 tsp grated garlic
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp white vinegar
2 tsp lemon juice
6 tsp extra light olive oil
4 tsp cilantro finely chopped
Salt to taste

Mix all the ingredients and marinate fish in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Place the salmon in a baking dish and cover it with foil.

Bake it at 350 degrees for 45 mins.

Remove foil and bake for another 10 mins at 450 degrees to evaporate the juices.

Tender and moist salmon with a side of salad or steamed vegetables tastes great.
