Description
A flavorful baked salmon recipe inspired by Texas Roadhouse, featuring a blend of spices and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning blend.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Drizzle the lemon juice over the seasoned salmon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend.
- Serve the baked salmon over a bed of sautéed spinach or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
