Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced Lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, spacing them equally apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground black pepper, salt, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated with the seasoning.
Top each fillet with a couple of lemon slices for additional flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your perfectly seasoned baked salmon!
