Baked Salmon with Garlic and Dijon

Baked Salmon is juicy and flaky with a flavorful garlic, dijon, lemon glaze. We used the same marinade on our succulent Broiled Lobster Tails. Find out why this is one of the most popular baked salmon recipes around!

When it comes to parties and entertaining, this 20-minute roasted salmon is one of our go-to seafood recipes along with Shrimp Scampi, the best Fish Tacos, and Creamy Shrimp Pasta. P.S. We included air fryer instructions which cuts the bake time in half.

The Best Salmon Marinade:

You don’t need any fancy ingredients to make the best baked salmon. This is a healthy salmon marinade, but is definitely not lacking in flavor. The best part is – there is no marinating required! All you need is:

  • Dijon mustard
  • Fresh lemon juice (not from concentrate)
  • Parsley
  • Plenty of pressed garlic
  • Pantry Basics: olive oil, salt and pepper

Ingredients for salmon marinade with lemon, dijon mustard, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper

I am convinced this is the best marinade for seafood. It works on shrimp, lobster, fancy salmon skewers and all kinds of fish (we also snuck it onto these chicken legs and didn’t regret it for a second)! It’s fresh, vibrant and easy; simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, spread it over the salmon filets and bake.

How Long to Bake Salmon:

This proven roasting method always produces excellent results. Baking the salmon at a high temperature quickly roasts the exterior and seals in the natural juiciness of the salmon, making it flaky, tender and moist.

  • Roast at 450˚F for 12 -15 minutes
  • Salmon internal temperature should reach 145˚F (remove it from the oven at 140˚F since the temperature will continue to rise as it rests).

The Best Types of Salmon:

Wild caught salmon (not farmed) is best. Any of these types of salmon will work: Atlantic Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, or King Salmon.

Since salmon filets can vary in size, Keep an eye on the salmon towards the end since a thinner fillet will roast faster and a thicker filet such as a fattier farmed salmon, or a thick wild King salmon fillet may take longer to roast.

How to Make Air Fryer Salmon:

Place salmon on the wire basket, skin-side-down, and keeping it spaced just so the pieces are not touching. Air Fry at 450˚F for 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon. As usual, there is no need to preheat the air fryer. I

love how the top becomes slightly caramelized in an airfryer – it is my new favorite way to make “bake” salmon. Read more about our air fryer here.

    Hi Natasha, Iam a fan of yours for sure. I made your pizza recipe and set my oven to 550 degrees like the recipe said any where from 500 to 550 degrees. I looked in the oven to get ready to take it out and my pizza Stone cracked in 2 places. I was able to save the pizza but I guess I have to get another pizza stone? It was a pampered chef one. Maybe my stone was a little old? The warranty. Was over. Probably should have only baked at 500 degrees . Keep on cooking. I love it❤️

          Hi Halley, Light olive oil has a higher smoke point; this is often why we bake with it. I wouldn’t recommend EVO since it will likely smoke up your oven and kitchen once it hits a certain heat point. However, technically extra virgin will heat up to 400˚F, so it should be ok at 400˚F in the oven. I don’t recall the exact brand I used, but I purchased it at my local grocery store. I would ask the store associates where they keep it, or you can order some online. I hope this helps

      Hi Tomer, I haven’t had the experience of this seeming greasy. Are you possibly crowding the salmon in a casserole dish rather than on a baking sheet? I don’t recall anyone saying this seemed greasy so I’m not sure what else it could be.

    Natasha, I have to say, I discovered your recipe maybe five years ago, and it is my family’s favorite. Whenever I bring to a potluck, it disappears immediately, to rave reviews. But I must give credit to where credit is due, so finally leaving a comment!

    I would say, as long as you use the main ingredients in this recipe, no matter what variation you spin on it, it will taste awesome. Key is to not overcook (450 for 12 min is perfect, then let it sit outside oven to finish cooking with ambient heat) I’m someone who never measures things out (except when baking pastries, which is why i don’t bake pastries), so here’s what i do:

    e.g. i load on the dijon (1/4c?), fresh lemon (straight off our tree is best!) and garlic (5-10 cloves? we LOOOOVE garlic). i use avocado or grapeseed oil, enough to make sure entire filet is covered. and instead of the other spices, i just shake on Montreal Steak Seasoning (my go-to for everything… try it with olive oil on chicken and bake, and it’s amazing), and then enough parsley and lemon slices just to make it look beautiful.

    a winner each and every time. Thank you, Natasha!!

    Using our air fryer, I recently tried your marinade recipe with skin-on, 1-inch thick fresh salmon fillets. It was quite flavorful and the Dijon mustard, which really enhanced the taste. After marinating, I covered the salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerated for 15 minutes, to marry the flavors.

    Since a majority of standard air fryers only allow a maximum of 400 degrees F, and that was my cooking temperature. The fillets were flaky and moist at 10 minutes, with that temp. At 7 minutes, I brushed the fillets with melted butter, which I thought really added to the flavor.

    This is a never fail, perfect recipe. We like salmon on the rare side so the 12 minute (or slightly less) cooking time is perfect. The sauce comes together quickly as the oven preheats, and then the cook time is perfect for prepping and sautéing a bed of healthy greens in which I lay the salmon. It is infallible, healthy, and delicious.

      I’m also a believer on saving with prep time. However, from my experience, I’d suggest storing the prepared marinade in the fridge, along with the salmon in separate covered dishes. Do not marinate the salmon until ready to cook.

      Just before cooking time, I always marinate my salmon and then cover/store it in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes to marry the flavors. I do this with with any “acid-based” marinade. Acids in a marinade can break down the salmon, resulting it to become very mushy before cooking. Even with some shellfish, such as shrimp, the acids will actually cook the food when you marinate in advance and store for extended periods.

      My suggestion only pertains to acid-based marinades.

I can’t wait to try your recipe. I often make salmon on the grill, in heavy-duty foil with lots of fresh veggies on top of it, drizzled with EV Olive Oil. It’s also delicious” I hope that helps.

    Hi Natasha,
    I come from a commercial fishing family and I just wanted you to be aware that Atlantic Salmon is just a sneaky way of selling farmed fish. Atlantic salmon is actually from commercial farms. All the restaurants selling it under the guise of Atlantics Salmon? Yep, farmed. Dye pellets and all that mess. Love your recipes but stay away from that Atlantic stuff. They’re sneaky. Seriously, do some research & check it out. 😉

      I live in Alaska where we take our salmon very seriously. 😊Atlantic Salmon is indeed farmed – not sure how they get away with that. Farmed salmon is not only terrible for you, but threatens the wild salmon population. I agree, steer clear of Farmed &/or “Atlantic” salmon. 😝

    What do you think about subbing dill instead of parsley?

    Do you prefer it with parsley?
    Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE parsley especially in soups.
    I’m open to trying it.
    It’s just that usually I use dill with salmon and they are a match made in heaven. Your thoughts? Thanks!

I went by your cook time, and it was the *first time* my fish turned out perfect! Moist and flakey. I always have trouble cooking fish, as I seem to overcook. Recipe was excellent. I omitted capers, so made as is except for fish type. I used the frozen mahi from Costco. They are really good. Thanks so much for the tutorial on cooking fish. I will make this again, but use salmon. I served it over fettuccini with a salad, spooned a little sauce over the noodles that was left in pan. A delicious meal. You ROCK!!

      Hi Angelina, evoo is best used for salads and cold preparations since it doesn’t have a high smoke point like a light olive oil would. Technically extra virgin will heat up to 400˚F so it should be ok at 400˚F in the oven.

    Natasha, I usually make your salmon with lime/garlic butter on the grill, but tonight I found myself without lime and dill so came to your site to look for an alternative. Found this and followed the directions to the letter. It was outstanding. I continue to marvel at the fact that every single recipe of yours I have tried has turned out spectacular. Carry on.

      July 16, 2021

      Hi Stella, EVOO isn’t great for high heat cooking. I think it could work if you lowered the temperature to 400 or 425, but you would have to bake a little longer.

Here’s what one of our readers wrote trying it at 350 degrees “I will try tonight. but with one change; I always bake “room temperatured wild salmon” at 350 for 15 minutes, no more, and always comes out great. I also put sliced red onions on top of the thinner edges.” I hope this is helpful.

    I love salmon and eat it every week (this week; twice!).
    I cooked it on a foil lined baking sheet and surrounded both portions of salmon with fresh asparagus then poured the marinade (sauce) over all. Cooked at 375° for 16 minutes… PERFECTION!

    This has become one of our regular meals. Nice and fresh and easy to make. I usually add washed capers if I have them. I have also started cooking all salmon dishes at a lower 250 degrees for around 25 minutes instead of the higher temps. This makes it so the “perfect” cooking time is about plus or minus two minutes instead of a difficult to hit 20 seconds like it is on higher temps. More consistent finished product for me. Love this recipe! Thanks!
