Serves 4 Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Total 35 min

Ingredients

For the salmon

  • 1 large salmon fillet
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp each of horseradish and coarse mustard (or substitute 1 tablespoon shrimp paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

A simple fish-day supper: a quick marinade of mustard, horseradish, and soy, spread over salmon and baked until just done. The short rest off the heat lets it finish gently.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and spread them over the salmon fillet. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 degrees F.
  4. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes so it finishes cooking out of the oven, then serve.
