Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is intact.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Brush or drizzle the seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with additional dried parsley or fresh lemon slices for extra flavor and presentation.
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with your favorite vegetables, rice, or salad for a complete meal.
