directions

  • Place salmon filet on a sheet of aluminium foil, or baking tray, flesh-side up.
  • Season salmon filet with salt and pepper (to taste) and set aside.
  • Chop garlic finely and mix into the cup of mayonnaise, stirring if necessary.
  • Using a butter knife or a spoon, spread the garlic-mayo mixture evenly on top of the filet, the spread should be about a 1/2cm thick throughout.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, and place the filet on the top rack, for 8-10 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
  • Turn the oven setting to "Broil" and keep a close eye on the garlic mayo spread; turn off the oven once the garlic and mayo start to brown evenly.
  • Season further with salt to taste.
  • Serve with potatoes, or steamed rice.

  1. Very easy recipe and the salmon comes out very moist and full of flavor. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I am picky about salmon but this is a no-brainer that ever first-time salmon cooks can't go wrong with.
     
  2. This was really good. It got rave reviews from those who ate it. Like another reviewer from The Pacific Northwest, we like our salmon. I usually go with what I know works and had planned to grill but it was to cold, so I gave this recipe a try. I don't cook using measurements unless there's baking involved. With that in mind, I only used two large cloves of garlic. I also added dried chives and a pinch of thyme. I served this with roasted veggies and wild rice w/ mushrooms. Will make this again when I'm in the mood for a decadent topping.
     
  3. I made this but used Greek yogurt instead of mayo and added dried dill. It came out delicious! Ate it with some garlic risotto and sauteed zucchini and mushrooms. The mayo sounded a bit too rich for me, the yogurt was perfect. Very fast and easy!
     
  4. This was beyond delicious! We had it with mashed sweet potatoes and garlic spinach. Loved every single bite. <br/><br/>To the reviewer who found it too rich: Of course it's rich, it has a cup of mayo! I mean, really, what did you expect?
     
  5. This is an easy recipe for someone with little time (and dislikes a lot of prep, extra dishes or even cooking). I tried this recipe for one serving, used low fat mayo, a garlic press, and a little dill. The top rack browned my mayo too quickly, so I moved the dish down one rack. Turned out yummy and will definitely make again! I'm curious if plain yogurt would make a nice substitute for those that want a mayo alternative. For this dish, i'm fine with my low-fat mayo! Thanks for the recipe!

We eat out a lot and I learnt to cook so that we wouldn't have to go to the same restaurants all the time and keep eating the same stuff. My recipes are meant to be simple enough that even guys can use them :D Hope y'all enjoy cooking these dishes as much as I did!
