Ingredients:

36 oz salmon
1020g
6 tbsp italian salad dressing
90g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1 cup mushrooms
70g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
3. Arrange the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. If your salmon has skin, place it skin-side down.
4. Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms into thin slices. Distribute them evenly over the salmon fillets.
5. Mix the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the Italian salad dressing, water, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
6. Pour the Dressing:
- Evenly pour the dressing mixture over the salmon and mushrooms, ensuring that the entire surface is covered.
7. Baking:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
8. Serving:
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked salmon hot, garnished with the cooked mushrooms and some additional lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.

Tips:

- Use fresh salmon fillets to ensure the best taste and texture. You can also use skin-on fillets for added flavor and moisture.

- Marinate the salmon in the Italian salad dressing for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flavors to fully penetrate the fish.

- Slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate as the salmon.

- Line your baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.

- Check the internal temperature of the salmon with a meat thermometer. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for optimal doneness.

- For a burst of additional flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or basil over the baked salmon before serving.

This Italian-style baked salmon with mushrooms is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients. The tender and juicy salmon, flavored with Italian dressing and lemon juice, combined with the earthy taste of mushrooms, makes for a well-rounded and impressive dish. Serve it with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad, and you have a complete meal that will impress your guests or provide a satisfying dinner for your family.
