Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds fresh salmon filet
• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon (1 packet) French onion soup mix

Here's how to make it:

1. Place the salmon filet, skin side down, in a casserole dish or baking pan (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easier cleanup). Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste, if desired. In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, add the mayonnaise and soup mix. Stir to combine.
2. Spread the mixture over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
3. Cover with aluminum foil and bake the salmon in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 15 minutes.
4. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
5. Serve with your favorite vegetables or side dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
