Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, prepare the spice rub by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice evenly over the salmon fillets.
Step 5
Rub the minced garlic onto each fillet, then generously coat the tops with the prepared spice mixture, ensuring an even layer on each piece.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a crispier topping, switch to broil mode for the final 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish each fillet with fresh chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness. Pair with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a full keto-friendly meal.
