4 cloves garlic, chopped

½ teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

4 salmon steaks, each about 4 ounces

  2. Arrange the fish in a baking dish and spread the marinade on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two hours.

I love this salmon recipe!!! Next time I will reduce the amount of crushed red peppers just a tad. So delicious!!! I had to force myself to refrigerate the leftovers. Excellent!

do you think 20 minutes is too long? i have trouble cooking salmon. i never know when it is done. i usually wind up cooking it too long so it is always a little dry. it is a gift to be able to cook salmon correctly. i am still working on it.

20 minutes at 450 should work out well! Testing it with a fork to check for flakiness is a good way to measure if it is done. Good luck, we hope you enjoy it!
