Tips For Baked Salmon With Rosemary and Garlic
All the exact steps are in the printable recipe card, just a little bit further below. First, I have some tips that I think will help you as you make it. If you have a question about this recipe, please leave it in the comments.
Can I Use Aluminum Foil Instead of Parchment Paper?
Yes! If you’re in a bind and out of parchment paper, then baking this salmon recipe in aluminum foil will work just fine.
Use the Freshest Fish Possible
If you have a fish market that’s local and easily accessible to you, then we highly recommend going there to purchase your salmon fillets. The fresher the fish, the easier it is to prepare – and the results will be that much tastier!
How To Store Leftover Baked Salmon
If you want to reuse this leftover baked salmon, I suggest storing it in an airtight container and keeping it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Then, you can use this salmon again on top of a salad or in some fish tacos.
Other Veggies To Bake With Salmon
I made this with some red potatoes, but russet potatoes will work too. You can also add some broccoli florets, or chopped zucchini or yellow squash.
