I came up with this recipe one evening many years ago and have made it hundreds of times since. It’s my go-to recipe when planning a salmon dinner.

Why I love this recipe:
- It’s easy to remember
- It doesn’t require measurements (though I’ve provided them for you)
- The oven does all the work, making it simple and clean
- It only takes 30 minutes, which is perfect for preparing the rest of the meal and cleaning up
- It’s delicious and healthy. That’s why I keep coming back to this recipe for cooking salmon time and time again.
I use coconut aminos, but a good wheat-free tamari works great too. You may want to omit the added salt as tamari is already very salty.
