Baked Salmon With Coarse Sea Salt

⏱ 22 mins 🍽 2 serving(s) 🏷 Very Low Carbs

This recipe offers a wonderfully simple way to prepare salmon. Coarse sea salt is key, as its large crystals only partially dissolve during baking, creating a subtle, clean-tasting crunch on the fillets. The method involves coating the fish in olive oil before baking. It's a very low-carb dish that cooks quickly, making it perfect for a speedy yet elegant meal for two. You could also use this technique with swordfish, steelhead, or bluefish.

Baked Salmon With Coarse Sea Salt

Ingredients

  • 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Method

  1. Set your oven to heat to 375 degrees.
  2. Rinse the salmon fillets with cold water, then use paper towels to pat them completely dry.
  3. Place the olive oil in a shallow baking dish. Add the salmon fillets and turn them over to ensure they are coated on all sides with the oil.
  4. Generously sprinkle the coarse sea salt over the top of the fillets. Bake in the oven until the centre is just opaque, which should take 10 to 12 minutes.
