Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds fresh salmon filets
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the salmon filets skin-side down on the lined baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle evenly over the salmon.
  4. Spread mayonnaise over the entire surface of the salmon in a thick, even layer.
  5. Arrange lemon slices on top of the mayo-coated salmon.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches your desired doneness.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh wild salmon for best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer spicier or more herbaceous flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Try adding fresh dill or chives for extra herbal notes.
