Paprika Salmon Recipe
Description
In the Paprika Salmon Recipe, salmon is seasoned with a spice mix that includes paprika, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This mixture is pressed onto the fish with olive oil, forming a paste that helps the seasonings adhere and enhances flavor. Baking the salmon at 425°F allows it to cook quickly while maintaining moisture inside and creating a slightly caramelized surface due to the brown sugar. The dish finishes with a sprinkle of minced parsley that adds brightness.
The salmon's flavor is smoky and subtly sweet with aromatic notes from the garlic and Italian seasoning. Its texture is tender and flaky, typical of baked salmon. This preparation requires minimal ingredients and attention, making it straightforward to prepare.
The dish can be served as a main course alongside vegetables, rice, or potatoes. Its balanced taste and texture adapt well to simple side dishes without overpowering them.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons paprika see notes
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning each
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder each
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ lb salmon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- parsley to serve, minced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Lay the salmon on the baking sheet and sprinkle the spice mix over the top. Drizzle the top with olive oil and then use your fingers to press the oil into the spices so that it forms a light paste.
- Bake the salmon for 8 minutes for individual fillets or 14 minutes for a whole fillet. Sprinkle the top with some minced parsley before serving, if you'd like.
