Garlic Lemon Baked Salmon
A terrific combination of flavors with a fresh baked salmon fillet seasoned with garlic, lemon, paprika, parsely, salt, and pepper.
Ingredients
- 3 TBSP olive oil ( you could also use cooking spray)
- 2-3 lbs. salmon Atlantic or sock-eye
- 2 TBSP paprika
- 1 TBSP garlic salt (or 1 TBSP garlic and 1 tsp salt)
- 1 TBSP black pepper
- 1 TBSP parsley fresh or dried (I used dried)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (optional).
- Place salmon on the cookie sheet and rub or brush the top and bottom of the salmon with olive oil.
- Cut one lemon in half and squeeze the juice of the whole lemon over the top of the salmon. Then sprinkle the paprika, garlic salt, black pepper and dried parsley over the top of the salmon.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. The meat of the salmon should be a lighter pink than when it was raw, and should easily flake apart. Cut and serve immediately along with my Green Beans and Sliced Almond and my Easy Homemade Mashed Potatoes. Enjoy!
