For the Salmon
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (6 ounces each), skin on preferred
For the Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a higher smoke point)

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic)

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt Reduce to ¾ teaspoon for lower-sodium version
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder (or minced garlic), paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat each salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush the oil-lemon mixture generously over the tops and sides of each fillet.
Cooking
  1. Bake the salmon on the middle oven rack for 15 to 20 minutes, until it flakes easily and reaches your desired internal temperature (125–130°F for medium).
  2. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

For a glaze, swap half the oil for melted butter. Store cooked salmon in an airtight container for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently to avoid drying.
