Wild Alaskan Salmon is also listed on the Super Green List from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood watch list.
The Super Green list includes seafood that meets the following criteria:
- Low levels of contaminants (below 216 parts per billion [ppb] mercury and 11 ppb PCBs)
- The daily minimum of omega-3s (at least 250 milligrams per day [mg/d])*
- Classified as a Seafood Watch “Best Choice” (green)
So… not only is this the best salmon recipe ever… It’s good for you and super green too, making it an A+ choice all around!
Ingredients for the Best Salmon Recipe
1 -1 1/2 Pounds of Wild Alaskan or BC Salmon
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
1/8 Teaspoon of Pepper
Instructions for my Best Salmon Recipe Ever!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Use a piece of foil about 3 times the size of you salmon fillet. Place your foil on a baking sheet, position the salmon in the middle.

Drizzle your olive oil over the salmon, sprinkle lightly with Salt and a touch of pepper. You can also squeeze on some lemon juice if you like lemon with your fish. I don’t – so I skip the lemon. Fold the foil over the salmon creating a nice envelope (you don’t want the steam to escape).
Place your salmon in the pre-heated oven for 5-10 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet). I find that the salmon is almost always done when you can smell it. Pull it out and double check to see if it’s done to your liking. Be sure to check in earlier than later… you can always throw it back in for another minute if it’s not ready.
That is it. Done.
Serve with a side of salad and some brown rice and you have a quick, easy, nutritious dinner. If you have any leftovers this salmon is perfect chilled over salad. Just Sayin.
Tip: If you have a picky eater – and who doesn’t – try serving the salmon with their favorite salad dressing the first few times. It might be just enough to get them over the hump of the “I dont’ like that’s”!
I posted this recipe during Zucchini season… so you see it pictured above with Shredded Suateed Zucchini – Recipe Coming Soon!
One pound served my family of Four – 2 adults & 2 children. Adjust the quantity of salmon to your family.
