    Baked garlic salmon with peppers pairs well with a kale salad, rice, or vegetables.

    If you love garlic and spice, then give this delicious recipe a try. My favorite salmon for this recipe is the Trader Joe's Salmon in BBQ cut. The end result is flavorful, flaky, and delicious.

    1. chili peppers- use bell peppers for a less spicy taste

    Top Tips

    1. Try to cut the chili peppers and garlic super thin.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 salmon filets with skin (norwegian farmed atlantic salmon in a bbq cut is my favorite)
    • 4-6 cloves thinly sliced garlic
    • 1 sliced chili pepper (jalapeno, serrano, or thai chili depending on your spice tolerance)
    • garlic powder (optional
    • coarse salt
    • coarse pepper
    • extra virgin olive oil

    Instructions
     

    Prepping the Salmon

    • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
    • Oil the skin-side of the salmon and place it on your cooking pan with the skin down.
    • Gently cut multiple slits on the pink flesh part of the salmon making sure the cuts are big enough to fit your thinly sliced garlic and chili peppers.
    • Stuff garlic and chili peppers in each slit.
    • Sprinkle coarse ground black pepper, coarse salt, and garlic powder on top of the fish.
    • Drizzle cooking oil on the fish until it is coated well.
    • Place the pan in the oven and cook for about 12 minutes (could vary based on thickness).
    • Enjoy hot with a side of slaw salad, roasted/steamed veggies, or white rice.

    Notes

    This salmon can also be grilled. Place directly on a grill and cook with a cover until desired temperature.

    FAQ

    What kind of salmon is best tasting?

    I personally love Atlantic Salmon, but any thick-cut salmon with the skin can be great for this Chili Garlic Salmon Recipe.

    What are some baked salmon seasoning recipes?

    Simple seasonings work well with a fish that is already packed with so much natural flavor. I recommend using subtle herbs such as rosemary, dill, and fresh thyme.

    What are some tips for cooking salmon fillets?

    I recommend baking salmon with the skin side down on a baking rack like this one. Alternatively, grilling is also a great option.

    What is the white stuff on top of my cooked salmon?

    The white stuff on salmon is called albumin, which is a protein found in fish oil. Once it is cooked it solidifies into an egg-white type of texture. So can you eat the white stuff on top of salmon? Of course, you can!

    Does salmon have a fishy taste?

    In most cases, this fish definitely tastes more distinct in flavor versus a white flaky fish (or even shrimp for that matter). My tip to assure the fish taste remains minimal is to cook it as fresh as possible and not let it sit in the refrigerator past the suggested date.

    How do you know when salmon is cooked?

    Albumin (white egg white looking texture) will show up on top and the fish will flake into pieces.

    Is it better to bake or broil salmon?

    If you prefer salmon tender with no crisp then oven-baked salmon it is the way to go. If you want even a little bit of crispiness to your salmon, then broiling can work well.
