The Best Gluten Free Easy Baked Salmon Fillet Recipe.

Intro

Salmon is one of those foods that is both nutritious and naturally tasty. Packed with nutrients, vitamins and omega 3, it is a fantastic choice for a delicious dinner.

As salmon in itself is so delicious, I decided that this week’s recipe will be very pared back. The recipe is a low-fuss oven bake. You don’t have to spend much time on preparing the meal either.

There is no need for sauces (though if you are looking for a sauce to pair with the recipe, check out my Best Gluten Free Air Fryer Paprika Chicken Fillets Recipe!). This week is really about letting the ingredients shine! 🌞

As a sage out there probably goes: a more complicated recipe does not always mean the better.

So with this sentiment in mind, this recipe simply contains 4 ingredients: salmon, asparagus, cherry tomatoes and rice.

This recipe is for 1-2 servings (depending on your hunger levels). It is gluten-free, suitable for pescatarians and ideal for a low FODMAP diet.

Make sure to try this recipe so you too get to understand what it is like to eat the food of Gluten Free VIPs! Enjoy! 🙂

Recipe FAQs

Can I make substitutions to the recipe?

Of course! As this is a salmon-based recipe, the salmon stays! But if you are not a fan/ don’t have cherry tomatoes and asparaguses available, then feel free to substitute the fruit and veg for other fruit and veg that you prefer/have in the cupboard. For example, cucumber and leek are popular alternatives. Samphire particularly can be a nice addition.

What is the best seasoning and herbs for salmon?

In my view, I like to prepare salmon without seasoning. However, it is up to you if you want to add some! Herbs like rosemary, basil and chives are good options. Seasoning like black peppercorn, paprika and cumin all can work well with salmon.

Can I add a sauce? What are good sauces for salmon?

Again, yes. Feel free to add any sauce you like – or none at all! Fish sauce is a great sauce that complements any fish dish. Other sauces like lemon butter sauce can also work well. Feel free to adapt the sauce to the season as well, for example BBQ sauce for the summer. Obviously, not all sauces are gluten-free, so it is important to get gluten-free versions.

How much protein in a salmon fillet?

In this recipe, I used Scottish salmon fillets. Each fillet is 120g. The information on the pack indicates that each fillet has 27.36g of protein. So each fillet is roughly 22.8% protein.

How long it takes for salmon to defrost? Can I cook salmon from frozen?

Salmon defrosts very quickly. Just leave the salmon in the fridge overnight, ready to use for the next day.
