Simple Recipe Box

Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast with your host, Ben Harper! Today, we're diving into a real treat—making restaurant-quality Texas Roadhouse Salmon right in your own kitchen. So, grab your apron, and let's get cooking!

First up, let's talk about what makes this dish a standout. Texas Roadhouse is known for its bold flavors, and the secret lies in their seasoning. To replicate that, you'll need fresh salmon fillets and a special blend of spices. Here’s what you’ll need for four servings: 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, 1/4 cup of Texas Roadhouse seasoning blend, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, the juice of one lemon, and optionally, 1/4 cup of white wine for an extra kick.

Now, if you don’t have the Texas Roadhouse blend on hand, don’t worry. You can make a similar mix with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This homemade concoction will bring your salmon close to that signature taste.

Preparation is simple and straightforward, making this recipe perfect for chefs of any level. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. While it heats, line a baking sheet with either aluminum foil or parchment paper for an easier cleanup.

In a small bowl, mix together your seasoning blend, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine if you're using it. This mixture is key to infusing the salmon with robust flavors.

Place your salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Generously brush the top of each fillet with your seasoning mixture, ensuring it's well-coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes. You’re aiming for an internal temperature of 145°F, which ensures the salmon is cooked through yet remains succulent and moist.

Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Add a touch of salt and pepper to taste, and finish with a pat of butter on each fillet for that melt-in-your-mouth richness.

For serving, this dish pairs wonderfully with sides that complement its richness. Think garlic mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple, crisp salad. These sides not only balance the flavors but also turn your meal into a feast.

Storing leftovers is easy. Just place the cooled salmon in an airtight container and refrigerate. It’ll keep beautifully for up to three days. And if you’re thinking ahead, you can freeze it for up to three months. Just wrap each fillet individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag.

And there you have it—Texas Roadhouse Salmon that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. Simple, delicious, and utterly satisfying. Thanks for tuning in to Simple Recipe Box. Until next time, keep delighting in the joy of home cooking. Happy eating, everyone!
