Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to the broil setting (high heat, about 500°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Lay one slice of bacon across the top of each salmon fillet. Tuck the ends of the bacon underneath the fillets to secure them.
Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven, about 5-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. (Tip: Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure it doesn't burn.)
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
