Spicy Salmon w/ Lemon Pepper Pasta Put the salmon into the oven, and bake it. Butter - I like salted butter for this recipe, especially because it ensures you don't need to add any extra salt at the end!; Minced Garlic - Those jars of minced garlic in the produce section of the grocery store are the best shortcut. You can of course use fresh minced garlic too.

In addition to serving this Spicy Baked Salmon on its own, I also love it for: Spicy Salmon Tacos. Pile inside tortillas and top with the creamy slaw recipe I use in these Shrimp Tacos. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice with lots of avocado and Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes. Tender, flaky salmon is spiced simply but sublimely, then baked in the oven in foil. This lemon pepper salmon is exactly the kind of recipe you and I need more of in our lives.
