How to Make Baked Salmon

You are going to love this dish because it is impressive to serve, but SO easy…and the flavors are incredible!

  • Slice two large sweet potatoes into rounds, making sure they are all the same thickness. You want them thinly sliced.
  • You are going to cook the sweet potato rounds for 12 minutes BEFORE adding the salmon. The sweet potatoes need more cooking time so you will get them going in the oven while you prepare the salmon.
  • You will need four pieces of fresh salmon, about 6 oz each. We prefer wild caught salmon. Choose salmon that looks vibrant, smooth, moist, and has no brown spots or discoloring. The salmon shouldn’t smell fishy or sour.
  • Combine the softened butter, garlic, honey, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This simple butter mixture is going to melt into the salmon as it bakes and create the most amazing salmon!
  • After the sweet potatoes have been cooking for 12 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Place the salmon fillets directly on top of the sweet potatoes. Spread the butter mixture evenly on salmon pieces. Place the lemon slices on top.
  • Put the pan back in the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque throughout. The cook time will depend on the thickness of your salmon pieces. Check at 10 minutes to be safe. You don’t want to over cook the fish.
  • Dinner is DONE! Serve the salmon with the sweet potatoes and enjoy!

    This was easy to make and very healthy but on the bland side.

    I used wild Pacific salmon which is rather dry.
    Had I used a fattier salmon, such as Atlantic, it probably would have been tastier.

  2. I normally eat salmon raw (sushi-style), this is interesting I can see in the picture that this recipe is very flavorful and nutritious at the same time. I need to go to the market now so I can try this. Thank you for sharing this!

  3. 5 stars
    So easy and so delicious! My 2 sweet potatoes made more than a single layer, spread them out alternately to make 2 layers of potatoes and cooked for the same amount of time. Also didn’t have rosemary so sprinkled with parsley and thyme. Perfection. Will definitely be adding to the rotation!

  4. 5 stars
    Made it twice now and love it. Added cayenne to the sweet potatoes and a little to the butter and butter mixture for the salmon. Definitely peeled the sweet potatoes. Will make again and again, Thank You!

  5. Question: you note to thinly slice the sweet potatoes, but in the picture they seem a bit thick, like 1/4”. How thin should they be? Thank you! Look forward to making this dish!

  6. Made this tasty dish for dinner. So so flavorful, and so easy to put together. We love salmon and this recipe is definitely a keeper.

  7. 5 stars
    So delicious!!! I was skeptical about the potatoes not being peeled but it was tender and not even noticeable. Definitely a keeper!

  8. 5 stars
    Loved this delicious salmon recipe. The blend of butter, rosemary, and honey over the salmon is fantastic! It’s nice to have another way to prepare salmon to add to our regular menu. Thank you!

  9. 5 stars
    So tasty! Even the next day it was delicious – the salmon & potatoes were both delicious and well seasoned – and they made a great pair eaten together. Great simple dinner!

  10. 5 stars
    This is very delicious and has become a firm favourite. Even my husband, who is not a big fan of fish, really enjoys it.

  11. 4 stars
    Delicious and easy to make. We left off the extra honey at the end, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Compliments all around.

  12. We made this delicious dinner last night. My husband and I enjoyed it was so good. Plan on making again very soon.
