Easy Cajun Baked Salmon

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
|
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
|
Gently pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place on the baking sheet, skin side down.
4
|
Place the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds.
5
|
Place the paprika, thyme leaves, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and black pepper in the bowl with the butter. Stir with a fork until a thick paste forms.
6
|
Using a spoon and clean hands, rub a scant teaspoon of the spice mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
7
|
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half evenly over the fillets. Reserve the other half for serving.
8
|
Bake the salmon on middle rack of oven until it flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes.
9
|
Check to see that salmon is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
10
|
Squeeze the reserved lemon over the fillets and serve immediately. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days.
