How To Bake Salmon - Salmon Recipe

Best Baked Salmon Recipe

Recipe Type: Salmon, Seafood, Lemon, Onion, Tomato
Yields: 8 servings
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 1 hr

Ingredients:

1 (3- to 4-pound) salmon filet, cleaned
Salt and coarsely-ground pepper
6 bacon slices
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Wash salmon filet and pat dry; place onto aluminum foil.

Salt and pepper the cavity of the salmon. Layer bacon slices, lemon slices, onion slices, and tomato slices in the cavity of salmon; wrap in aluminum foil.

Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature registers 140 degrees F. or until fish is slightly opaque in thickest part (cut to test). NOTE: During this time the meat continues to cook (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven) and the juices redistribute.

This is the type of cooking and meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking.  I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the left. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world.
