Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet about four 4-oz fillets
  • 1 lime lime juiced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment if desired for easier cleanup.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
  • Brush or spoon the lime-spice mixture evenly over the top of each fillet so they are well coated.
  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired doneness.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a minute, then serve with your preferred sides.

Notes
