  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp paprika

Equipment

  • 1 Baking dish
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Knife and Cutting Board
  • 1 Aluminium foil or parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Reheat Oven: To make sure everything cooks evenly, you’ll want to preheat the oven at 190°C or 375°F.performing these steps in order works best
  2. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper until well blended
  3. Season Salmon: Put the salmon fillet in a baking dish and pat it dry with a paper towel. Then brush or drizzle the marinade generously over each piece to cover thoroughly.
  4. Bake Salmon: Loosely cover the dish with foil or wax paper, then place it in the oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish until you can easily flake it with a fork.
  5. Serve: Take out of the oven and let it rest for five minutes. Garnish with slices of fresh lemon or herbs and eat warm.

Notes

  • Don’t cook the salmon too long; it should remain moist and flaky.
  • Before seasoning the salmon, put a dry skin to let flavors penetrate better.
  • For a little added fragrance, add fresh herbs such as dill or thyme.
  • Clean up is a lot easier if you use greaseproof paper.
