Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil and lemon juice. Brush this mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
In a separate small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing it down gently to adhere.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve each fillet with a lemon wedge on the side.
