Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 2 salmon fillets
Marinade
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the plain yogurt, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a smooth spice yogurt mixture.
- Coat the Salmon: Take the salmon fillets and evenly coat them with the yogurt and spice mixture, making sure each piece is fully covered on all sides for maximum flavor and moisture retention.
- Roast the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Place the coated salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish. Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the quantity of paprika and garlic powder according to your spice preference.
- Checking the salmon at 12 minutes is recommended to avoid overcooking.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
- You can prepare the marinade and coat the salmon ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before roasting.
