Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to form a spice paste.
Step 4
Brush the spice paste evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets using a silicone brush or the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Slice the lemon in half. Squeeze half of the lemon over the salmon fillets, reserving the other half for serving.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
While the salmon roasts, finely chop the fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the fresh cilantro over the top and serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
Step 9
Enjoy your flavorful Chili Roasted Salmon!
