Pro tips:
- We like to use skin-on fillets because it ensures that the bottom of the salmon won't burn and stick to the baking dish. When cooked, you can wedge a spatula in between the salmon and its skin, coming up with a clean, edible portion of salmon and leaving the skin on the baking dish.
- Portion control: A typical portion size for salmon is the size of your fist, or about three ounces.
- This recipe is pictured with our Skinny Country Green Beans. You could also serve steamed broccoli, sauteed green beans, steamed or grilled bok choy alongside the salmon.
