Ingredients

Servings:

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 lemon sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Make sure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Ensure the skin side is down for a crispy texture.

    Use your hands to rub the seasoning evenly over the fillets.
  4. Bake the Salmon

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

    Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
