Oven Baked Salmon Fish

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds > (907.18 g) Salmon fillets 
• 3-4 tablespoons > (42.53 - 56.70 g) unsalted butter
• 2-3 teaspoons > (5.60 - 8.40 g) minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon > (6.90 g) onion powder
• 1 tablespoon > (6.80 g) paprika
• 1/2 -1 teaspoon > (1.80 g) cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2-3 tablespoon > (5.30 - 15.90 g) fresh parsley, basil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon > (15 g) or more lemon juice

  Directions:

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil or baking paper, like I did, spray with cooking spray or lightly oil. Set aside.
2. Using a sharp knife, make about 4-5 slits on salmon. Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. In a small pan set over medium low heat butter,  minced garlic, Paprika, onion powder and cayenne pepper. Stir for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Let this mixture sit for a little bit about 5 minute. Add lemon juice to mixture.
4. Brush salmon with spice mixture, making sure every inch is covered with spice .
5. Bake until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish and your preference of doneness. When the thickest part of the salmon is easily flaked with a fork, the salmon is perfectly cooked.
   
   
6. Garnish immediately with lemon slices.
