Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups hummus
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet skin-side down.
Step 3
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the salmon under the broiler and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 5
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the hummus sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the hummus, lemon juice, and water until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add more water a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 6
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven. Spoon the hummus sauce generously over the fillets or serve it on the side for dipping.
Step 7
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
