This is just one of over 120 delicious and easy recipes in my bestselling book, Practical Paleo!
People are often timid when it comes to cooking fish, but I promise, it's one of the easiest things to get right. Keep the ingredients simple and the cooking time short, and you'll have a winner. Rosemary isn't typically an herb you'd think of pairing with salmon, but it's surprisingly perfect in this dish. If you prefer dill or chives, you can use those instead of rosemary.
This paleo salmon recipe is so quick and easy that you'll soon find it on your weeknight go-to rotation.
Enjoy!

I have a bunch of salmon on hand and have been getting sick of my spicy almond butter sauce I’ve been making with it. Trying this out tonight for sure!
How do I set my oven to low broil if the only setting on the dial is broil?
If your broiler is in the oven, you can adjust the oven rack closer or farther from the broiler. If it’s a broiler drawer that doesn’t adjust, just leave it open a little bit and watch the food very carefully as it cooks.
Thanks for the recipe!!! I don’t have salmon, but I’m trying this tonight with my ahi tuna!
This looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!! I am obsessed with salmon and this looks phenomenal! I could seriously eat 16 pounds of salmon in one sitting, I just wish there were such things as salmon eating contests, but that would probably be far too expensive to supply! LOL
I also enjoy Salmon with a lime butter sauce; it is so good!
You take 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice, 1 large garlic glove crushed, pepper to taste, 1 stick of butter melter, or you can do half a stick of butter and half equivalent of olive oil and mix together in blender. Marinate salmon for at least 2 hours. Makes the fish very moist and lime adds a bit of tropical feel to it.
This looks so wonderful!!
Quick and easy, and delicious! Made this tonight with Copper River Red and used the fresh rosemary from my garden (I made up small batch of the rosemary salt blend, now have some for another time too). Used unsalted Kerrygold, and a couple of lemon slices. Enjoyed this with a side of tomato and cucumber salad.
The PDF version of the 21DSD has recipe similar to this one but with dijon sauce I was wondering if any one else had tried it ?

Salmon is my kryptonite! This looks amazing!
You mentioned that you normally use frozen salmon–can you tell me which brand you buy and where you buy it? I love good salmon but have found that most frozen have that fishy taste.

re: salt blends
on page 230 it states:
If a recipe calls for one of these salt blends and
you do not have them prepared, simply use a 1:1 ratio of a dried herb or lemon
peel to coarse sea salt.
however recipe online provides another ratio (1/2:1/4) – which ration is correct? thank you
For the Rosemary Salt Blend:
Ingredients:
1/2 c ground, dried rosemary
(preferably made from drying fresh rosemary)
