Herb-Rubbed Salmon W/ Bell Pepper & Onion

Herb-rubbed salmon with bell pepper & onion. As made/created by Matt.

Ingredients:
salmon
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 green bell pepper - chopped
1/4 onion - chopped

Seasonings:
lemon pepper with herbs
coriander
cumin
ground ginger
salt
pepper
garlic salt
thyme
pre-mixed seafood melody of herbs

Directions: Let salmon sit on counter for 20 mins to remove chill & reducing cooking time (Matt says: 'some website said to do that'). Heat oven to 475 degrees.  Rub salmon with herbs to taste (basically, it's guestimation work here). Cover with chopped green onions. Place butter & mayonnaise in oven safe dish. Put dish in oven for 5 minutes. Take out dish, place chopped onion and bell pepper on top of melted mayo and butter. Place salmon (herb side down) on top of everything. Bake salmon for 5 minutes. Take out, then peel skin off. If skin does not easily peel off, put back in oven for 2 additional minutes. Then salt and pepper back side of salmon, flip it over and bake for 5 more minutes. Take out and enjoy melt-in-your-mouth salmon! 

Add lemon wedges for additional flavoring to the salmon and a side salad. Serve with Grenache Rose wine, which goes great with fish.

    1. well it wasn't scaling so much as just peeling off the back skin part. if you cook it for a few mins, it comes off pretty easily :)

  2. Oh wow, that looks utterly delicious! I'm a big fan of salmon but it's probably been a few years since I've made it myself. Bookmarking this and will definitely give it a go in another week or two :) xo

  3. This looks yummy! I am a pescatarian (veg but I eat swimmy fish), but I am not very good at cooking it on my own. I must learn sometime though! Also, congratulations on your camera! So excited to see you got the D5100, that's what I use and I really like it so far!

    1. I have yet to actually cook fish myself (Matt always cooks the meat/fish), but it really does look pretty easy. And I love my camera thus far too!
