  • Four fillets of salmon, each weighing 4 ounces
  • Half a cup of mayonnaise that is low in fat
  • One tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • One tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary
  • A dash of salt

Step 1

To start creating this delightful dish, begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

In a bowl, combine the creamy mayonnaise with a splash of zesty lemon juice, whisking until the blend is smooth as silk.

Carefully spread this delectable mixture onto the salmon, coating it with a flavorful layer.

For a burst of aromatics, sprinkle each fillet with fragrant rosemary, a pinch of salt, and a dash of peppery black pepper.

To add a delightful crunch, top each piece of salmon with a sprinkle of hazelnuts, creating a tantalizing contrast in textures.

Step 8

Now, pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the magic happen.

Step 9

Bake the salmon until it reaches the perfect flakiness that can be effortlessly pierced with a fork, typically around 15 minutes.

Step 10

Once done, savor the delicious aroma and enjoy the succulent flavors of this beautifully baked salmon dish.
