Easy 5-Ingredient Baked Salmon Recipe With Fresh Raspberry Sauce by Elisa Schmitz

Salmon dinners don't always have to be savory. In fact, salmon lends itself to sweet sauces equally well. To keep things interesting, I enjoy sauces that have an unexpected flavor. That's exactly what you get with this easy baked salmon recipe in a fresh raspberry sauce.

While raspberries might not be what you'd expect to serve with salmon, let me assure you that it's really delicious. In this easy seafood recipe, fresh raspberries are blended with orange juice, Greek yogurt and honey to create a healthy, creamy and tangy sauce that bursts with flavor and nutrition. Check out the health benefits of raspberries and the health benefits of Greek yogurt.

Here's your shopping list for this low-sodium, high-protein dinner recipe: fresh salmon, fresh raspberries, orange juice, Greek yogurt and honey. You prepare the raspberry sauce in a blender, then spoon half of it over the salmon in a baking dish. After baking the salmon, you spoon the rest of the sauce over the salmon before serving.

I served this citrusy salmon over rice, to soak up the yummy sauce. This gluten-free salmon recipe is super easy, so you can make it for dinner any night of the week. It's so pretty in pink, though, that you may want to serve it for special occasions because it's so festive!

Recipe Notes

• If you don't have fresh raspberries, you can use frozen.

• If you don't have fresh-squeezed orange juice in a bottle, you can squeeze the juice from fresh oranges yourself. In a pinch, you can use regular orange juice.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Here's how to make it:

1. Place the salmon filet in a casserole dish or baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
   
2. Add the raspberries, orange juice, Greek yogurt and honey to a blender.
   
3. Blend until smooth.
   
4. Pour half of the sauce over the salmon, ensuring the salmon is covered in the sauce.
   
5. Bake the salmon at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
   
6. Remove from oven and spread the remaining raspberry sauce on top of the salmon. Serve over rice and/or with your favorite side dishes.
