Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
Butter Garlic Mixture
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for a slight kick
Instructions
- Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the salmon.
- Prepare Butter Garlic Seasoning. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, paprika, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Season the Salmon. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet or in a baking dish. Brush each fillet generously with the butter garlic mixture, ensuring the tops and sides are well coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Salmon. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through but still moist inside.
- Rest and Serve. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the fish tender and flavorful.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh or fully thawed salmon fillets.
- If you prefer a crispier top, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Adjust the seasoning quantities to taste, especially the cayenne pepper if you want to control spiciness.
- Butter can be substituted with olive oil for a slightly lighter version.
