Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a perfectly baked salmon.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, black pepper, and salt. This creates a delicious oven-baked salmon marinade.
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the seasoning mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.
Arrange lemon slices over the seasoned salmon. This adds a bright and irresistible baked salmon flavor.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon.
Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired. Serve this tasty baked salmon immediately for a healthy and delicious baked salmon dinner.

Notes

For extra moist and flavorful baked salmon, you can marinate the salmon for 15-30 minutes before baking.
Adjust the spices to your preference. You can add a pinch of paprika for color or a dash of cayenne for a little heat to your flavorful baked salmon.
This irresistible salmon oven recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Leftover baked salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
