Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper and coat with a drizzle of olive oil. This will help prevent the salmon from sticking. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared sheet pan, skin-side down.

Combine the grated ginger with chopped fresh dill, freshly ground black pepper, salt, lemon juice, sliced green onions, and diced jalapeno peppers in a small bowl. Mix well.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the salmon fillet on the sheet pan.

Evenly spread the ginger dill mixture over the salmon, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the salmon for added flavor.

Roast the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the salmon. The salmon is done when it reaches 145°F (63°C), or you can check for doneness by gently inserting a fork and seeing if the fish flakes easily.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Salmon Dry for Perfect Crust 💧
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the salmon fillet before cooking to ensure the skin crisps beautifully and the topping adheres properly without sliding off.
Microplane Fresh Ginger for Maximum Flavor 🔪
Finely microplane the ginger rather than mincing to release its oils and create a more cohesive, flavorful topping that won't have large fibrous pieces.
Cook Skin-Side Down First 🐟
Start with skin-side down in a cold pan, then gradually increase heat to render the fat and crisp the skin while keeping the flesh moist and buttery.
Balance Jalapeno Heat with Timing ⏱️
Remove seeds and white ribs from jalapeno for controlled heat, and add it to the topping just before serving to maintain its fresh, punchy kick without overwhelming the delicate fish.
Prep Components Ahead for Flexibility 🕐
Mix the ginger-dill topping and slice green onions up to 24 hours ahead, then assemble just before serving to maintain the recipe's versatility for room temperature or chilled serving.
