Salmon gets roasted with a sweet garlic-herb coating for crispy skin and a fork-tender bite.

This simple roasted salmon is the perfect meal for busy nights. Perfect as a Paleo-friendly dinner, it’s a nutritious dish you can make in under 30 minutes!

For this recipe, an herb blend of basil, garlic, and shallots complement the sweet and tangy zip from the honey and lemon juice. The mix coats the salmon, allowing the garlic and shallots to caramelize while baking. Tip: This sauce also doubles as a marinade for chicken or pork.

To get started, prepare the salmon by blotting it dry with a paper towel. Set the fish onto a prepared baking sheet and combine the rest of the ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until smooth and spread half of the mixture onto the top of the salmon. Transfer to the oven and bake for 18 minutes.

Once baked, divide the salmon into four even slices and coat once more with the remaining herb sauce. Serve with cauliflower rice for a complete meal or refrigerate leftovers for up to 24 hours. You can also serve chilled with your favorite salad.
