Juice from 1 fresh lemon
02 -
A pinch of black pepper, as needed
03 -
Salt, added to taste
04 -
Lemon slices, great for serving
05 -
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
06 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano
07 -
1 teaspoon ground paprika
08 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
10 -
2 fillets of salmon, about 6 ounces each
11 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne, adjust if you like it less spicy
12 -
Fresh parsley, roughly chopped, perfect for garnishing
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F (or 200°C) so it's ready for baking.
02 -
Stir together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This makes the seasoning blend.
03 -
Use a paper towel to pat the salmon fillets dry. Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking tray to make cleanup easy.
04 -
Spread the prepared seasoning all over the salmon fillets. Use your hands or a brush to cover them evenly.
05 -
Pour the juice from one lemon straight over the salmon for a burst of fresh flavor.
06 -
Bake the salmon in your hot oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily when poked with a fork.
07 -
Once out of the oven, let the salmon rest to stay juicy. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve it with lemon slices for an extra twist of citrus.
# Notes:
01 -
Resting the salmon after cooking keeps it moist and boosts its flavor.
