Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet or pan with aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil with olive oil.
-
Step 2.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the oiled foil. Pour 3 tablespoons of lemon juice over each fillet and sprinkle lightly with black pepper.
-
Step 3.
Tent a piece of foil over the pan to enclose the fillets completely, which will keep the salmon moist and succulent.
-
Step 4.
Bake the salmon for 15 minutes, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
-
Step 5.
While the salmon bakes, prepare the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1½ tablespoons sweet pickle relish, a dash of mustard, and ¼ cup chopped onions (if using). Stir until well mixed, then refrigerate until serving.
