Crunchy Garlic Salmon (a 2 step process)
• Salmon filet (s)
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 large clove of garlic per filet- chopped
• Shake of Garlic Powder (optional)
** fork split: pierce with fork and turn
Step 1
* Preheat oven to 375F.
* Drizzle olive oil in the oven pan or glass dish, before placing salmon in.
* Cover or drizzle the top of salmon with the remaining olive oil.
* Spread the chopped garlic on top of the salmon. Add garlic powder (optional)
* Bake for 20 minutes… If salmon is not done….the Broiling in step 2 will finish it.
Step 2
* Carefully take salmon out of the oven. “Fork Split”** the top of the salmon all over!
* This process allows the heat to permeate throughout and add the “crispy”.
* Turn off ‘Bake’ and switch oven to the broil setting on high.
* Put the salmon back in the oven for the ‘char’ garlic & completely cook the salmon.
*Watch carefully as this step should take between 3 to 6 minutes.
* The garlic should be brownish and crispy (to your liking).
