Notes
Ingredient notes & substitutions
Salmon
- fresh or frozen both work, but make sure it still has the skin on as we want to bake it skin-side down
If your salmon doesn't have skin
- add some butter or oil underneath so that it doesn't stick
Salmon filets
work as well, but adjust the cook time - it will take 12-15 minutes instead
Tips & tricks
Squeeze the lemon over the fish before adding the lemon pepper
- or else you risk your lemon pepper just sliding off in that lemon juice waterfall
Adjust the cooking time
depending on your oven. If you know it's "fast", try 15 minutes instead. You can always pop it back in if it's not quite done.
Store leftovers in the fridge
in an airtight container for up to 3 days - it's delicious cold as well as reheated
Make it in the air fryer
: you can even cook it from frozen, and it's just as delicious!
