Instructions
1️⃣ Set the Stage:
Preheat oven to a hot 400°F (200°C).
Line baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2️⃣ Create the Flavor Bomb:
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until a smooth, fragrant paste forms.
3️⃣ Prep the Salmon:
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Place them skin-side down on prepared baking sheet.
4️⃣ Season Like a Pro:
Generously coat each fillet with the spice mixture.
Cover every inch for maximum flavor impact!
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice for that zesty brightness.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection:
Slide that baking sheet into your preheated oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
