Ingredients
Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 2 (6 oz / 170 g) Salmon Fillets
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Cooking Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Carefully rinse two 6-ounce salmon fillets under cold tap water and thoroughly pat them completely dry using paper towels.
- Coat both surfaces of the fillets with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper evenly across the salmon’s exterior.
- Heat your grill to 375°F or preheat your oven to 400°F, selecting your preferred cooking method.
- Place salmon directly on clean grill grates or a lined baking sheet, positioning skin-side down.
- Grill for 4-5 minutes per side or bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for the fish to become opaque and easily flake when tested with a fork.
- Remove salmon from heat source and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow internal temperature to stabilize.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice (approximately 2 tablespoons) over the fillets just before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped herbs for added color and flavor profile.
Notes
- Pat the salmon completely dry before seasoning to help the spices stick and create a delicious crust.
- Check salmon’s doneness by gently pressing the thickest part – it should flake easily but still look moist and slightly translucent in the center.
- For gluten-free diners, this recipe is naturally gluten-free, so no modifications are needed.
- Try using wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor and more omega-3 fatty acids compared to farm-raised fish.
