Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set oven and prepare pan. Preheat the oven to 375°F, and drizzle a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan lightly with olive oil, or line it with parchment paper.
  • Assemble. Evenly divide the Cilantro Chimichurri among the salmon fillets. Spread it thinly over the entire top surface.
  • Bake. Place the salmon in the baking pan and bake in the preheated 375°F for about 10 to 12 minutes, depending on its thickness. It should still be slightly translucent in the center. If you're not sure it's done, just cut into the thickest part with a very sharp knife. It should almost flake apart.
