We're keeping it simple with the ingredients on this roasted salmon with only a dash of garlic salt, some paprika, and a bit of olive oil to create a quick but flavorful wet rub.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray wire rack with cooking spray. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic salt, and paprika.
Using gloved hands, gently rub oil mixture all over both sides of the salmon filets.
Place salmon filets, skin side down, onto wire rack.TIP - Always cook fish with the skin side down. If you place the fish skin side up, the fish will cook and begin to flake, making it fall apart as you lift it.
Roast in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Notes
Center cut salmon provides uniform thickness between your filets. Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice the filet into 4 smaller filets.
We highly recommend using fresh salmon over frozen. If you do have frozen salmon, allow it to fully thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
Feel free to season your salmon to suit your individual taste. We used a simple mixture of olive oil, paprika, and garlic salt.
