Crispy Salmon Recipe

This Crispy Salmon recipe uses a seasoning blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander to create a flavorful crust when broiled. The salmon is coated with avocado oil for crispiness and cooked skin-side down on a baking sheet, resulting in tender flesh and a perfectly seasoned surface. The broiling method offers a straightforward way to prepare salmon with a balance of texture and spice. It makes for a practical weeknight main dish that pairs well with various side dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 (1-pound) salmon fillet
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil or cooking oil of choice
  • 1 pinch salt sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven on the high broil setting.
  2. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray, or lightly oil the bottom of a casserole dish and place the salmon fillet in it skin side down. Drizzle avocado oil over the flesh of the salmon and use your hands to spread it over the full surface so that everything is coated. Sprinkle with sea salt. 
  3. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander. Sprinkle this mixture liberally over the salmon (note: you may have leftover seasoning, and that's fine! You can use it for future salmon/chicken/steak endeavors or on vegetables).
  4. Place the salmon on the third-to-the-top shelf of the oven and broil for 10 minutes. (6 minutes for rare salmon, and up to 15 minutes for a very thick cut of salmon). Remove from the oven and allow salmon to cool 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.Note that salmon is considered fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the salmon to check for doneness.

Notes

  • Avocado oil adds crispiness and helps the seasoning stick to the salmon.
  • Broil the salmon skin side down to keep the skin crispy and protect the flesh.
  • Check internal temperature to ensure salmon is cooked through but not overdone; 145°F is recommended.
  • To make the recipe Low-FODMAP friendly, swap onion and garlic powders with dried oregano and thyme.
