Gordon Ramsay’s Baked Salmon is a perfectly cooked fillet seasoned with fresh herbs, citrus, and spices, then baked in the oven until golden and tender. The salmon is typically served with a light butter sauce, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. The recipe highlights the natural richness of salmon while enhancing it with bright, bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for balance)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prepare the seasoning mix: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Season the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the seasoning mix evenly over the fillets.
  4. Bake the salmon: Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Broil for a crispy top (optional): For a golden crust, broil on high for 1-2 minutes at the end.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, add lemon slices, and serve immediately.
