Baked Herb Stuffed Salmon Food

SIMPLE HERB STUFFED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F/218C. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil sprayed with oil (for easier clean up).
• PREPARE SALMON FILETS: Place salmon on pan, skin side down. Make slits crosswise on each fish fillet as deep as possible without cutting into the skin - about 1/4 inch/6mm above the skin or bottom of salmon is good. Reserve a tablespoon of herb mixture for garnish. Stuff remaining herbs into the slits and sprinkle a bit more on top of salmon. Drizzle salmon with oil, squeeze the lemon over the fish and season generously with salt and pepper. You can let the salmon sit and marinate for 15 minutes if you have time (no longer, though).
• ROAST SALMON TO PERFECTION: Add wine to the pan around the salmon. Roast for 10-12 minutes or just until salmon flakes and is warm pink in the thickest part for moist, medium to medium-rare (not white pale pink as this will be dry). Rule of thumb is 10 minutes per inch of thickness, but slightly less might be needed because of slits in salmon. If using an instant thermometer, internal temperature should read about 130F/54C . It will rise a few degrees while resting for 5 minutes.
• SERVE: If salmon has skin on bottom, to remove it, slip spatula between skin and flesh. Lift and transfer to plate. Sprinkle reserved herbs on top and serve with lemon wedges and your choice of garnishes, Note 1.
