Oven Baked Salmon with Creme Fraiche
Salmon recipes can be cooked many ways, but in my book, there's nothing as easy as oven baked salmon in white wine and lemon for a healthy dinner, or to make and use for meal prep all week long.
Ingredients
- 6 6- ounce salmon filets
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon sliced
- ½ cup white wine
- 8 ounces creme fraiche or mix 3 parts sour cream and 1 part plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Season the salmon with the salt and pepper. Place the salmon, skin side down, in a baking dish or on a high-rimmed baking sheet. Top the salmon with the lemon slices and add the wine to the dish or baking sheet.
- Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix the creme fraiche, minced shallot, and dill. Spoon over each of the salmon filets and serve.
Notes
Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a chardonnay for this recipe. The wine adds moisture as the fish cooks. Or, you could also use water with more lemon juice—1 lemon juiced will do.
