Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
  • For the Glaze:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This step helps achieve better texture. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Brush this seasoning mixture evenly over the top and sides of the salmon fillets.
  4. Prepare the glaze: In another small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until fully combined.
  5. Brush about half of the glaze mixture over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is mostly cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush the remaining glaze over the salmon.
  8. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly caramelized and the salmon reaches your desired doneness. For a crispier top, you can briefly place it under the broiler for 1 minute, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Serve your perfectly baked salmon immediately. This pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete, healthy dinner.

Notes

  • For extra crispy skin, place the salmon skin-side down on a wire rack set over the baking sheet before seasoning.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1 minced clove of fresh garlic to the glaze mixture.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
