Ah, you’re looking to make smoked salmon in a baking dish! Here’s a simple and delicious way to do it:
Ingredients:
- Smoked salmon slices (200–300g)
- Olive oil or melted butter (1–2 tbsp)
- Lemon slices (1 lemon)
- Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)
- Salt and pepper (optional, smoked salmon is already salty)
- Optional: cream cheese or crème fraîche for a creamy topping
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare the dish: Lightly grease your baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- Layer salmon: Lay the smoked salmon slices flat in the dish. If you like, fold them slightly for thickness.
- Add flavor: Drizzle with a bit of olive oil or melted butter, place lemon slices on top, and sprinkle with chopped herbs.
- Optional creaminess: Dollop small amounts of cream cheese or crème fraîche over the salmon for a richer taste.
- Bake: Place in the oven for 8–12 minutes—smoked salmon is already cooked, so you just want to warm it through without drying it.
- Serve: Garnish with extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon. Serve with crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
💡 Tip: Smoked salmon can dry out quickly, so avoid baking it too long. Just warming it gently brings out the flavor.
