Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a spice paste.
Brush the spice paste evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets using a silicone brush or the back of a spoon.
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze half of the lemon over the salmon fillets, reserving the other half for serving.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon roasts, finely chop the fresh cilantro.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the top and serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your flavorful Chili Roasted Salmon!
