Oven-Baked Blackened Salmon


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Blackening Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Season the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then generously rub the blackening seasoning all over each fillet.

Step 4: Bake the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
