¼ teaspoonred pepper flakes, or to taste(see note)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan or baking dish with parchment for easy clean-up and to prevent fish from sticking.
Rinse salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Place salmon skin side down on sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for 20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. You can also check the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer. It should be 145°F.
Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
Enjoy immediately with dressing drizzled over top of salmon fillets.
Notes
If desired, you can substitute black pepper for the red pepper flakes in the dressing.
If fresh chives are not available, substitute green onions or scallions.
