For the Salmon:
- 4 6 oz / 170g salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ tsp lemon zest
- 1 ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra color)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
Option 1: Baked Lemon Pepper Salmon
Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Season the Salmon:
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Brush each fillet with olive oil or melted butter and drizzle with lemon juice.
- In a small bowl, mix lemon zest, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and paprika.
- Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the salmon.
Bake to Perfection:
- Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve & Garnish:
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Option 2: Pan-Seared Lemon Pepper Salmon
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Season the salmon as directed in Step 2.
- Sear the salmon, skin-side down first, for 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a low oven (300°F/150°C) for 5 minutes or in a skillet over low heat.
Substitutions:
- Swap salmon for trout or cod for a similar flavor.
- Use ghee instead of butter for a richer taste.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight heat kick.
