I was skeptical, since it was unrated, but it certainly sounded good! I had a fine filet, almost one pound, and cut it into two. I added the garlic powder, dill, salt and pepper, then covered each one with half-slices of thick-sliced bacon so that it looked like the picture above. Baked at 375 for about 20 - 22 min., then broiled carefully on high, at about 6-inches below the broiler until the bacon was crisp--about 4 - 5 minutes. (Don't ignore it, or let it get away!) The result? Splendid! Best salmon filets I have ever had! These were nice big 8 oz filets with good thick bacon, and were a real treat, worthy of professional offering as a seafood main course !
The way I see it adding bacon to ANYTHING is a good thing and adding it to salmon is a great thing! This is a wonderful quick and tasty dish. I sliced some potatoes and added them to the pan. In a separate skillet I sauted up some zuchinni summer squash tomato onion and garlic which made a nice side dish to compliment the fish. Everyone should try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
Not sure what prompted me to look for a recipe like this but it was worth it! This was an excellent meal! My husband is DEFINTELY a salmon/fish snob and he rarely eats it if it's not grilled. Since we had to ditch our grill before moving across the country I have been trying different methods of cooking fish. I have failed miserably MANY times and this was my FIRST SUCCESS! We both ranked this 10/10. The salmon stayed moist and flaky and the bacon with it was great. Unusual but delicious flavor combination. Next time I might try cooking it on a broiling pan so the oils/juices can run down just as an experiment. I'll post an update if it produces anything different. Yum yum yum--enjoy!
Fantastic if I don't say so myself;)
I normally grill my fish on the BBQ but today I wanted to try something different and stumbled across this recipe. It's delicious! But that's a given considering it's topped with bacon! I personally think 20-25 mins is a little long. Instead I increased the temp to 425 for the first 5 mins then 400 for another 10 mins and the salmon was perfectly cooked and moist plus the bacon was just how I like it. No need to broil at the end. I wasn't that hungry but I ended up eating both pieces I made because it was so good! I didn't even have a chance to take a pic. Next time!
This was pretty good but it was a little bland.
I didn't have the highest quality salmon available but it still turned out to be delicious.
Salmon patties are still my favorite but this was an exceptional idea and super yummy!
I made this for dinner tonight. My husband loved it! This is absolutely a keeper! Thank you.
Giving this 3 stars is generous. I have Salmon twice a week love this fish I have a lot of very good recipes but enjoy checking new ones out. What a way to ruin a beautiful piece of fillet the seasoning is lost and all you have is a bacon grease covered fish mind you anything tastes better with bacon and that s what you really taste...is bacon with a hint of greasy salmon. People move on from this recipe!
