Ingredients
Scale:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skinless recommended)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor).
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
Prepare for Cooking: If using the oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. For grilling, oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet or grill. For oven-baked salmon, bake for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). For grilled salmon, cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven or grill. Allow it to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
