Ingredients You Need
Salmon fillets – fresh or previously frozen and thawed, with the skin on Olive oil – or other high-heat oil, like avocado or grapeseed oil Salt and pepper – a bit of each to season the fish Sour cream – or greek yogurt, if you prefer Milk – whole or 2%, but I do not recommend skim milk Fresh dill – chopped Horseradish – the good prepared stuff in a jar Pink peppercorns – you’ll need some for pureeing and others to leave whole to garnish Honey – use the pourable kind that is easy to blend, not thick raw honey
How to Make Oven Roasted Salmon with Pink Peppercorn Sauce
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon filets on the baking sheet. Then brush with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for approximately 12 minutes, until the salmon is slightly opaque and barely cooked through. It might even look a touch underdone when it’s actually properly cooked, so keep an eye on it! Remove the baking sheet promptly and set aside while you blend up the sauce.
How to Make Pink Peppercorn Sauce
Simply add all of the sauce ingredients to a high-powered blender. Puree until smooth and creamy, with no bits of hard peppercorns.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the roasted salmon warm, with a generous drizzle of the sauce and a sprinkling of extra pink peppercorns. I like to let the flavor of the fish and sauce really shine, so usually keep side dishes on the simple side. Pair the fillets with sautéed summer squash or zucchini, air fried asparagus, or other seasonal veggies. You can keep things low carb with just vegetables or a side of roasted cauliflower rice. Or enjoy with your favorite carbs and starches for an ultra satisfying meal! We always love the combo of baked salmon with fluffy rice, pasta, or creamy polenta.
