Guidelines to make this dish with baked salmon

The marinade

Don’t know how to prepare fish? The secret is in the marinade. To apply this trick you will have to be patient.

You have to marinate the salmon for at least 8 to 10 hours in the fridge in some white wine with herbs. That is why we also recommend marinating the salmon overnight.

• The first thing to do is place the salmon fillet in a sealable dish.
• Then add all the spices together with the wine, garlic and salt.
• Then cover the pan. You then leave it in the fridge overnight. Thanks to the marinade, the taste of the fish will be delicious.

The next day

• Peel and cut the vegetables and potatoes into slices or pieces. Also make sure that the pieces are not too thick.
• When the vegetables are ready, preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Then take the bowl with the salmon out of the fridge. Place the salmon in a baking dish. Then add the vegetables and the oil. The marinade will ensure that the fish turns brown during cooking.

• Then cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place the dish in the oven.
• To turn the salmon fillet you will have to remove the foil. After about 15 minutes, add the marinade. Now let the fish cook for another 15 minutes.
• Finally, remove the pan from the oven. Let it cool a bit and serve it with potatoes and vegetables. You can also add a little marinade for an even better taste.
• Now you have come to the point where you can serve yourself the dish. Enjoy your meal with delicious baked salmon!

Some more tips

• Remember that you can use different wines when marinating. In the case of fish, white wine is best. Red wine can give the fish a bitter taste.

• You can also change the spices in the recipe. In this way you prepare the fish more according to your own taste. This is not a problem as long as you don’t overdo it.
• You don’t always have to use the vegetables from this recipe. If you want, you can swap them out for other vegetables you like. However, you have to remember that this baked salmon recipe wouldn’t be the same without those veggies!
