Ingredients

  • Two 8-ounce Salmon Fillets
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Dill
  • 1 bag Iceberg Lettuce Salad Mix with Purple Cabbage and Carrots or 1⁄2 head Iceberg Lettuce cut into wedges or shredded
  • 1 ⁄2 Red Onion thinly sliced
  • 10 - 12 Cherry or Grape Tomatoes whole or cut in 1/2, if desired
  • Captain D's Russian Dressing (Recipe below)

Instructions

  • Prepare Captain D's Russian Dressing according to the recipe below. Set aside.
  • Place a large, oven-safe skillet into a cold oven. Preheat oven, with pan inside, to 350°F.
  • While the oven is warming, place salmon fillets on a plate. Season each fillet with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn over and season the other side.
  • In a wide bowl, combine butter and lemon juice.
  • Place salmon fillets in the dish one at at time, turning to coat. Place coated fish back on plate.
  • Sprinkle with fresh dill.
  • Using a pot holder or oven mitt, carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and place on a safe surface.
  • Place salmon fillets into the skillet, skin-side down. (Be careful and don't let any oil splatter on you.)
  • Using a pot holder or oven mitt, carefully return the still-hot skillet to the oven.
  • Bake, uncovered, for about 12 - 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily.
  • If you prefer you can test for temperature - It should be at least 145°F. If salmon isn't done, return to oven and cook further in 1 minute intervals.
  • While salmon is cooking, divide the lettuce between 2 plates.
  • Sprinkle with red onion.
  • When the salmon fillets are done, place one fillet on top of the lettuce of each plate.
  • Arrange the tomatoes around the salmon.
  • Drizzle Captain D's Russian Dressing over the salad and serve.
