Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 salmon fillets
Supporting Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Cooking Liquids and Aromatics:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring your workspace is ready for salmon preparation.
- Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon sweet paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon dried parsley in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the seasoning mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well-incorporated and create a smooth, fragrant marinade.
- Arrange 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Generously brush each salmon fillet with the prepared butter and herb mixture, coating the entire surface evenly.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking that the salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- For a golden-brown finish, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with fresh lemon slices and serve immediately while the salmon is warm and perfectly cooked.
Notes
- Check salmon’s thickness to adjust cooking time, ensuring it remains moist and tender without overcooking.
- Use fresh garlic and high-quality paprika to enhance the salmon’s flavor profile dramatically.
- Select wild-caught salmon when possible for better texture and more robust nutritional benefits.
- Pat salmon fillets dry before seasoning to help the butter mixture adhere perfectly and create a delectable golden crust.
