Equipment
- Oven
- Baking dish
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets, (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 lemon, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

- Step 3: Bake the Salmon- Arrange the seasoned salmon fillets in the baking dish. Add lemon slices on top of each fillet. Cook in a preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F.
- Step 4: Serve and Enjoy- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Add vegetables like asparagus or cherry tomatoes to the baking dish for a one-pan meal.
- If the salmon begins to dry out, you can brush it with additional olive oil halfway through cooking.
