Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups hummus
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet skin-side down.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon under the broiler and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the hummus sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the hummus, lemon juice, and water until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add more water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Spoon the hummus sauce generously over the fillets or serve it on the side for dipping.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
