We have been making this salmon on repeat even since I found it from Caroline Chambers. I love this meal for so many reasons. Everyone in my family is absolutely obsessed with it, it’s such a healthy and well balanced meal, and IT IS SO FAST.

Pairing this salmon recipe with our brussels sprouts with honey mustard vinaigrette is a top notch duo! This recipe has been known to turn brussels sprouts haters into brussels sprouts lovers! Another easy and delicious side I use a lot is the Seeds of Change quinoa and brown rice. The packs can be found at most grocery stores (and Costco) and takes 90 seconds to cook in the microwave.
Preparing the Salmon
Yes, I love this salmon recipe, but what I really loved was how Caroline prepared the salmon. I have literally never prepared salmon any differently since.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. If salmon is not already precut, cut into 2-3 inch slices. Pat dry with a paper towel and top with Dijon mustard. You can measure with your heart, 😉 then spread the mustard. Next sprinkle brown sugar and a little paprika over the salmon.
To get the crispy and delicious top crust, mix together melted butter, panko, and dry oregano. Pat the mixture on top of the salmon. I typically double the recipe for our family of four. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 425 degrees.
Once it is baked through, serve right away with your favorite sides, or go with our suggestions of brussels sprouts and quinoa rice for a healthy, easy, and guaranteed win for your family dinner!
