Hot plate-baked salmon
Yields 4-6 servings.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of salmon fillet (with skin)
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best)
- 1 tsp. granulated garlic
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
- 2 stalks celery, fine diced
- Fresh dill and parsley, chopped
You can use a Pyrex dish or an aluminum pan lined with a baking sheet.
Directions:
Drizzle 1 Tbsp. of olive oil on the baking sheet and place the salmon pieces in the pan, leaving space between them. Sprinkle salt, granulated garlic, and black pepper over the salmon, then drizzle on the lemon juice and remaining olive oil. Place the celery and fresh herbs on top of the salmon and cover the pan with foil.
Put the pan directly on the hot plate and let it cook for about 30 minutes. If the hot plate is already heated before placing the salmon, it may only need 20-25 minutes. You can check by cutting through one of the center pieces to see if it needs more time. Some people prefer it more pink, but I found that 30 minutes was the perfect amount for it to be cooked through without drying out.
