Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 4-6oz fillets wild salmon, cleaned and dry
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Simple original version:

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive and garlic variation:

  • 4 olives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Mustard and garlic variation:

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice

Special spice rub variation:

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place dry salmon fillets on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper (to taste), regardless of topping of your choice.
  4. Prepare the topping for your salmon by mixing together the ingredients listed under each variation above in a small bowl. The quantities listed in the ingredients above are for 1-2 fillet(s). You can make each variation separately or double/triple for all 4 fillets. For example, to make the olive and garlic topping, mix together the olives and garlic and spread on top of the salmon fillet(s).
  5. Evenly distribute the topping on the salmon fillets.
  6. Bake for ~10 minutes in preheated oven or until the thickest part of the salmon is cooked through (fish should turn a light pink color and flake easily). Enjoy warm.
