Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sockeye salmon cut into filets
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder to taste
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the sockeye filets from their packaging and place them in a large baking dish or on a large rimmed sheet pan. Use paper towels to dab off any excess moisture and keep salmon skin side down.
- Drizzle the salmon with avocado oil and use your hands or a silicone brush to coat the flesh with oil.
- Sprinkle the salmon with sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. You can add any spice blends you like here.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145 degrees F.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish and wait until the numbers stop moving to get an accurate read.
- Serve salmon with your choice of side dishes, and enjoy! If you'd like, garnish with fresh herbs and a drizzle of lemon juice.
