Oven Roasted Salmon




Ingredients for Salmon

-16-20 oz salmon fillets, skin on (I just bought the frozen kind from Wal-mart, no skin and it still turned out yummy)
-Salt and Pepper
-3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
-2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
-additional Parmesan cheese
-a few dashes sweet paprika

Salmon instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil. Rinse the Salmon with cold water and dry thoroughly. Place in roasting pan and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Mix the mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Spread completely over the Salmon. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese on top and add a few dashes of paprika. Cook for 12-14 min. Remove from oven; carefully slide a wide spatula between the skin and meat to separate from skin and serve!

Ingredients for Mayonnaise

-2 whole eggs at room temperature
-1 to 1 1/4 cup oil
-2 Tablespoons lemon juice
-1/2 tsp dry mustard (I used regular wet mustard)
-1/4 tsp salt
-black pepper to taste

Mayonnaise Instructions

Place eggs in blender or small food processor. Blend eggs alone for about a minute so they will be ready to absorb the oil. Add lemon juice, mustard, and salt, mix in with the eggs. With the blender running, SLOWLY start adding  the oil, a few drops at a time, until the liquid starts to thicken up some; then you can start adding the oil in a small steady stream. Continue blending until all the oil in incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
