Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 fillets Salmon Fillets (6-8 ounces each, 1 to 1.5 inches thick) Choose fresh, high-quality salmon.
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Melted.
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional) For added heat.
- 2 lemon wedges Fresh Lemon Wedges For garnish.
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Chopped, for garnish.
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously coat the top and sides of each salmon fillet with the butter and spice mixture.
Cooking
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, checking for doneness at the 12-minute mark.
- For a golden finish, turn on the oven's broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and parsley.
Notes
To enhance flavor, choose wild-caught salmon. Adjust spices according to your taste and allow ample space between fillets when baking for even cooking. Resting the salmon before serving is crucial for juiciness.
