Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 oz (170g) each, skin-on
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (6g) kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp (3g) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (3g) smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use paper towels to pat the salmon fillets bone-dry to ensure the skin roasts rather than steams.
  3. Rub each fillet with olive oil and coat generously with the seasoning mix (salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and oregano).
  4. Place the fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and roast on the center rack for 12-15 minutes, until edges are deep golden brown.
  5. Remove the fillets from the oven once the internal temperature hits 135°F (57°C).
  6. Transfer the fillets to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the internal temperature to reach a perfect 145°F (63°C).
