Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon fillet skin-on, center-cut preferred
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra-virgin recommended
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika smoked paprika works well too
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • lemon wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Pastry brush
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill or oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Brush the spice mixture generously over the entire surface of the salmon fillet, coating all sides including the edges.
  5. Place the salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly on grill grates. Bake or grill for 15 to 20 minutes without flipping, until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  6. Remove from heat, let rest for 2 to 3 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra smoky flavor, use smoked paprika. Frozen salmon works fine if fully thawed and patted dry. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated and are great flaked into tacos or pasta.
