Creating a super delicious salmon on a stone recipe involves a few key steps to ensure the fish is cooked perfectly and infused with delightful flavors. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon slices for garnish
Fresh herbs (such as dill, thyme, or rosemary) for garnish
For the stone:
1 large flat stone (such as a slate or granite slab), cleaned and preheated in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for at least 30 minutes
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the clean flat stone inside to heat up for at least 30 minutes.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Carefully remove the hot stone from the oven using oven mitts or heatproof gloves. Place it on a heat-resistant surface.
Arrange the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the hot stone. Be cautious as the stone will be extremely hot.
Return the stone with the salmon to the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once the salmon is cooked, carefully remove the stone from the oven and place it on a heatproof surface.
Garnish the salmon with lemon slices and fresh herbs like dill, thyme, or rosemary.
Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the super delicious salmon on the stone hot, alongside your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh salad.
