Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh wild-caught salmon or farm raised
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 garlic clove minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a baking sheet with foil. The piece of foil should be big enough to fold over and seal the salmon completely.
- In a bowl, add melted butter, onion powder, crushed red pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, salt, black pepper and dried parsley. Whisk together until everything is combined.
- Place salmon onto prepared baking sheet.
- Pour the butter mixture over the salmon and spread evenly with a silicone basting brush or a spoon.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon. Make sure it is well sealed so the sauce does not leak.
- Place into oven and bake until cooked through, for about 20-25 minutes. (Baking time may vary slightly due to the thickness of fish and the power of your oven.)
- Open the foil and broil the fish for 3-4 minutes. Please, be careful not to burn the fish.
- Remove from the oven and serve it with veggies, salad, rice, or quinoa. Enjoy!

- Do not wrap the salmon too tightly as the tin foil can take off some of the salmon, making it less pretty when serving.
