What is Baked Salmon with Thyme?
Baked salmon with thyme is made by seasoning salmon with thyme and usually a little oil, then cooking it in the oven. It is a straightforward home-cooked fish dish rather than a recipe tied to one particular region. The salmon stays tender and moist, while thyme lends a fragrant, gently herbal note; lemon is a common addition to brighten its rich flavour.
Serve it as a main with salad and roasted vegetables, or add potatoes or grains for a more substantial meal. Salmon is high in protein and naturally low in carbohydrate; a 100 g portion provides 22 g of protein. For a lighter plate, use the oil sparingly and pair the fish with plenty of vegetables.
