Oven Baked Salmon

Oven Baked Salmon with Bruschetta Topping

We had our nephew and his friend visiting us. We typically have traditional dishes when our sibling visits us. But, when we have youngsters,  we try to make what they would enjoy more. Oven Baked  Salmon with juicy Bruschetta Topping became an ideal dish for a company.

Salmon contains significant amount of omega-3 fatty acid and is considered heart healthy. Research indicates that omega-3 fatty acid can decrease the risk of heart disease by reducing inflammation. Alaska, Pacific and Atlantic salmon, they are all good varieties for a good dish. 

 Salmon comes in couple of varieties. Sockeye and Pink, nutritionally both have similar benefits. Sockeye has strong rich flavor compared to pink.

 Sockeye salmon typically goes well with barbeque or any other sweet glazes.

Pink salmon is preferred, if you want to have your desired flavor to go with it. The mild flavor is easy to season with different herbs and lemon, etc. Though both varieties are popular and are preferred depends upon personal choice.

This is actually our daughter’s recipe, though bit modified. So, when kids come home for holidays, this is one of the dishes we make. And good part about it is, it does not require much effort to prepare at all.

 Typically the salmon is cooked with skin on bottom side which you can slice it off, if desired before serving. Our daughter prefers skin removed and our son opposite!
