Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven (if oven roasting)

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you choose to oven roast the salmon.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a clean cutting board.

  3. 3

    Season the Salmon

    Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika evenly over each fillet. Squeeze lemon juice on top of the fillets.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Oven Roasting Method

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 5

    Pan Blackening Method

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice blackened crust.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Salmon

    Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven or skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon with additional lemon wedges on the side and your choice of sides.
