Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Juice of 1 lemon (freshly squeezed or bottled)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (or cayenne for more heat)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (parsley or dill for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of one lemon, minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it's evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes if you have time.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve the baked salmon with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Keywords: Don't overcook the salmon; it's better to slightly undercook it as it will continue to cook after being removed from the oven. Feel free to experiment with spices and serve with Texas Roadhouse-style sides.
