Chef Johns Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 (8 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, boned, skin on
  • sea salt to taste
  1. Whisk together lemon juice and black pepper in small bowl. Add mayonnaise, miso paste, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper to lemon-pepper mixture; whisk together.
  2. Spread the lemon-pepper mixture over salmon fillets. Reserve about a tablespoon for later use.
  3. Cover salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
  5. Place fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spread remaining lemon-pepper mixture on fillets without letting it pool around base. Sprinkle with a pinch more black pepper and a generous amount of sea salt.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
