Awesome and easy with spices I always have on hand.
Loved how speedy the preparation. I had most of the ingredients; missing the basil and lemon wedges. Would have been better with both missing ingredients.
very good, but I cooked with skin on, skin side down 1st until crisp..turn and cook just until you can see a bit of opaqueness on top and bottom but still pink in middle! So completely delicious…not flaky and dry at all ❤️. Most fish cooked this way is wonderful BUT Salmon reigns supreme for us‼️
This was a great, extremely simple salmon preparation. I removed the skin from the fillets and added the seasoning to both sides. Cooked in a cast iron skillet, which made the salmon nice and crispy on the outside. Served with a Caesar salad. It really doesn’t need any modifications, but if I want a little heat next time, I might add a touch of cayenne pepper or hot Hungarian paprika.
Made with skin-on salmon and 2T fresh basil as that’s what I had on hand. The whole family including two picky toddlers loved how it turned out.
Good recipe. I got about 50 lbs of wild-caught salmon at Kroger for under $5/lb – I’ll use this again and again.
This is one of our favorite salmon recipes! It is always delicious.
For someone who doesn’t cook , I relied on the title “Super Simple Salmon Recipe” and you did not disappoint! Delish and I will cook it again!
Quick and delicious. I substituted sea salt. But be careful about using too much.
This is my go-to Salmon recipe!!! I use frozen salmon and have tried it with many other types of fish. Really easy and quick and I could eat this every day of the week! LOVE IT!!!
First timer with this recipe– this was the best salmon I ever ate– including restaurants– convincing me that yes I can do salmon once or twice a week… not only for health reasons but because it’s so quick and delectable! thank you!
This was delicious! Simple and fast with awesome flavor. This is my go to recipe for Salmon in the future!
Squeezed an entire lemon onto salmon and in pan
So easy! I made this for me and my 2.5 year old, she approved 🙂
This is a very good and tasty salmon dish. I only crave salmon about once/ month, but this is my go to recipe Using aldi’s Norwegian salmon seasonal special this weekend. Another reason I like this recipe is that its super simple!
This was very simple and still satisfying. I did not have any basil on hand and used a substitute Herbes de Provence. Served with fresh sautéed spinach.
Changed it up a little bit , came out delicious
Very nice,I lay the salmon on citrus slices and cover(no flipping)……only difference
Wow..we loved this..would make again..and again.. Made as written.
Super simple salmon is the perfect name for this recipe. There’s no marinade so no forethought. The ingredients are basic. It cooks in 10 minutes. The taste reminds me of blackened fish without the kick. I’ll certainly make this again and again.
I had been making the Brown Sugar and Dijon Mustard Glaze Salmon regularly but was looking for a change. This was just the thing! It was quick and delicious! And it didn’t require heating the oven on a hot summer day.
