- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is intact.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Brush or drizzle the seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with additional dried parsley or fresh lemon slices for extra flavor and presentation.
Step 8
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with your favorite vegetables, rice, or salad for a complete meal.
