Easy P-easy Salmon


What I love about fish is that people have a tendency to assume it is a “fancy” meal; however, it can take little time to prep and cooks even quicker! This recipe includes ingredients I believe you will commonly find in your pantry, and keeping them at a minimum allows for a simple, fast prep.

To begin, place the salmon on a piece of foil and brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil. I’m sensitive to wasting good olive oil, so usually pour the olive oil in small amounts and brush as needed. Start out small, and pour as needed. 

Salmon ready for seasoning

Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary together in a small canister, and sprinkle on top of the salmon. Top the salmon with the lemon juice, slices, and capers if using. I don’t always have capers in the house, so don’t stress and skip them if need be.

Seasoned salmon with lemon

Yes, that is it! This can take as little as 5 minutes, and I bet if you are in a bind, you could mix this up even quicker!

Either wrap up in foil and throw on the grill cooking 10 minutes for every inch the salmon is thick, or putting it in the oven at 350 degrees. The way to determine how long to cook the salmon is to measure how thick the salmon is, and for every inch, cook for 10 minutes. Doesn’t take long! For a nice crispness, turn the oven on broil for the last 5 minutes of cooking. Fish can be served and enjoyed immediately.
