Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon


We eat a lot of salmon in this house and I love to bake it with fresh lemons and lemon-pepper. This is a great quick and easy recipe that is delish. It is light and healthy and has a great lemony flavor that incredibly tasty.

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs salmon
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Rinse salmon and pat dry.
  2. Place a large sheet of foil atop a large baking pan {make sure foil is large enough to wrap and cover salmon}.
  3. Place salmon {skin side down} in the middle of the foil/baking pan and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Slice 4 thin round slices from lemon. With the remaining ends of the lemon, squeeze the juice all over salmon. Sprinkle the lemon pepper and salt evenly across salmon, rubbing to work into salmon.
  5. Place the lemon slices across the top of salmon.
  6. Wrap salmon with foil and seal.
  7. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Enjoy!
