Equipment

Oven
Baking sheet
Parchment paper (optional)
Pastry brush
Mixing bowl
Measuring spoons

Ingredients

4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each or 170 grams each
1 tbsp olive oil 15 ml
1 tsp garlic powder 3.1 grams
½ tsp smoked paprika 1 gram
½ tsp onion powder 1.5 grams
¼ tsp dried dill 0.25 grams
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon thinly sliced
Fresh dill sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each fillet with olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the salmon fillets.
Top each fillet with two thin lemon slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh dill sprigs before serving, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the salmon marinate with the olive oil and seasoning mix for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator before baking.

The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets; adjust accordingly.

Ensure the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety and doneness.

Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh keto-friendly salad to complete your meal.
