Baked Salmon Recipe

Baked salmon is one of my favorite weekly dishes. It is juicy, simple, easy, and light. It only requires a few ingredients but packs a ton of flavor. My family loves it paired with rice and salad.

Ingredients:

1 to 1.5 lb Salmon Fillet

1 tbsp paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp olive oil

juice of 1 lime or lemon

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 serrano pepper finely sliced

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2) In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and salt. Set aside.

3) Rub olive oil all in a 9 x 13 pyrex pan. Place salmon skin side down. Rub olive oil all over the top of the salmon.

4) Sprinkle dry spices all over the salmon. Top with minced garlic and serrano pepper slices. Drizzle lime juice all over.

7) Bake for 15-18 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes before serving.
