Ingredients
Scale
Salmon:
- 2 lbs fresh salmon fillet
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp paprika
Mayo Glaze:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
- Apply the Mayo Glaze: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the seasoned salmon. Don’t overdo it; a little goes a long way.
- Arrange thin slices of lemon over the top of the salmon for added flavor and fragrance.
- Bake the Salmon: Cover the salmon loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the foil and broil the salmon for an additional 3 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly crispy.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
