Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heating element.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and lightly grease the foil with a little olive oil.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 5

Brush the marinade generously over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil the salmon for 6–8 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly caramelized, and the salmon easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
