Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, honey, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to create a spicy glaze.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the glaze generously over the top and sides of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and registers 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
