Easy, loved it!!!

I only used 1 T. Oil, added more lemon juice, and seasoned the salmon and asparagus with lemon pepper. This was delicious. The asparagus was done perfectly. My husband doesn’t care for seafood but commented that he would eat this again.

I added the zest (rind) of 1 lemon to the fish before I cooked it, on top of the lemon-pepper, for an extra lemon kick. And instead of cooking in a pan, I cooked it in aluminum foil on the BBQ, 7 min per side, with the flame on low after heating grill to about 390°. Fish flesh was cooked PERFECTLY all the way through, without being dried out.

Very good. I love my salmon done simple. I did however bake it instead as I prefer that. Added some lemon pepper. I had like entire half a salmon (Costco sized) adjusted the flavors as I saw fit.

I made this with a side of roasted potatoes. It was delicious! I will be making this again for sure.

My hubby made this for date night. He liked it but I’m not a huge salmon lover. I thought it was just a little too fishy for me.

We love salmon and don’t like to mask the taste by adding a lot of strong flavours so this was right up our alley. I made it a wee bit healthier by using avocado oil instead of butter. I make a lot of salmon and learned that it’s essential to allow the salmon to come to room temperature before adding it to the pan. I usually do a quick pan sear and then finish it off in the oven but I liked this method too.

I made it a bit different! I baked the salmon in tin foil for 30 minutes at 375. I also made five fillets because I used a stick of butter, two cloves of garlic, salt and pepper to taste, a shake or two of dried basil, lemon juice instead of fresh lemon (2 tablespoons), two teaspoons of lemon pepper. Super simple. I made sure to mix all ingredients in the butter and spread both sides of the salmon. Make sure you wrap each salmon in tin foil! I’ll be sure to make this again. Turned out to be the best salmon I’ve made with my own added ingredients and preparations. Rant over! Bon appetite

Very tasty and simple.
Jeffery Moyer
This was delicious but I think the lemon pepper could become easily overpowering. I only used about half the recommended amount without diminishing the garlic.
Matthew Erickson
Really liked this. Very quick and easy as well as flavorful.
Joseph Oconnor
Added fresh dill from my neighbors garden. Yummy! 1st time making fish by myself!
Joseph Johnson
Nice easy salmon recipe with a tang! Nothing super special, but good for a quick easy night in recipe
Katherine Smith
So simple yet so elegant. I grilled the salmon using a soaked cedar plank and it was amazing!
Brandon Anderson
Simple and classic preparation really makes the salmon shine. I served it with candied ginger carrots on the side, lemon, and my home made tartar sauce. Perfection!
Ryan Mills
Tasty and easy. Thanks!
Edward Solomon
I used flounder with this recipe and it was delicious! Exactly what my husband had been asking for!
Laura Williams
Simple and good. I used garlic powder to season the fish and some blackened seasoning. This helped give the salmon just a touch bit more flavor.
Richard Graham
I baked it.
