Hey there strong people!
This oven baked salmon is such an easy recipe and a go-to dinner for my husband and I! I’ve used this recipe so many times and it is delicious and perfect every time. I usually change up the side dishes I serve up to keep some variety. I served this one up with some simple roasted red-skin potatoes on a bed of arugula. Other sides I love are cauliflower rice, sweet-potato mash, or simply on a bed of a ton of greens. Salmon used to intimidate me but it is so easy and tasty!
Enjoy!
