Best Oven Salmon
Seafood
Ingredients
2 pounds (907.18 g) Salmon fillets
3-4 tablespoons (42.53 - 56.70 g) unsalted butter
2-3 teaspoons (5.60 - 8.40 g) minced garlic
1 tablespoon (6.90 g) onion powder
1 tablespoon (6.80 g) paprika
1/2 -1 teaspoon (1.80 g) cayenne pepper (optional)
2-3 tablespoon (5.30 - 15.90 g) fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon (15 g) or more lemon juice
3 teaspoons of capers
4 sprigs of fresh dill
Directions
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or baking paper, like I did, spray with cooking spray or lightly oil. Set aside.
Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small measuring cup melt butter, using low power.
Mix in minced garlic, paprika, onion powder cayenne pepper and parsley or basil. Stir for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Let this mixture sit for a little bit about 5 minute. Add lemon juice to mixture.
Brush salmon with spice mixture, making sure every inch is covered with spice .
Bake until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness. When the thickest part of the salmon is easily flaked with a fork, the salmon is perfectly cooked. Check with a spot thermometer, interior temperature should be at least 145°F.
Garnish immediately with lemon slices.
