Once you take your first bite, you’ll see why I’ve made this recipe once a week for months and months now. It really is that good. And it’s not just salmon you can make this way. Try out a beautiful piece of halibut or cod and you’ll get a just as delicious result. I love making this recipe when I have guests over. Even though it’s very simple to make it looks really impressive which I love.

This recipe is such a showstopper that you can pair it with anything really simple and let it shine. I usually go with a side of Grilled Lemon Asparagus and Perfect Brown Rice or Brown Rice Cakes with this one but you can make whatever you like! Also, if you’re looking for another way to prepare salmon that’s even easier try my Air Fryer Salmon!
