Baked Salmon

Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillet (skin-on or off)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)
• fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. 3

   Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet and pat it dry with a paper towel.

4. 4

   Brush the marinade generously over the top and sides of the salmon fillet.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the salmon is at room temperature before baking for more even cooking. Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
