Perfectly seasoned salmon fillets baked to flaky perfection, inspired by Texas Roadhouse flavors. A simple and delicious meal ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat Your Oven:

    • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it’s hot and ready for the salmon to bake evenly. This step is crucial for achieving a perfectly cooked salmon with a flaky texture.

  • Prepare the Spice Rub:

    • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. This fragrant spice rub will give your salmon a fantastic flavor! Mixing all the spices in one bowl ensures even distribution, creating a consistent flavor profile.

  • Prepare the Salmon:

    • Take your salmon fillets and pat them dry with a paper towel. This removes excess moisture, allowing the spice rub to adhere better, ensuring a flavorful crust.
    • Placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper will make for easy cleanup later on! Parchment paper prevents sticking and simplifies cleanup, making the cooking process more enjoyable.

  • Season the Salmon:

    • Use a brush or your hands to generously apply the spice mixture all over the salmon fillets. Make sure they are well-coated for maximum flavor! Ensure even coating for a consistent flavor in every bite, creating a harmonious blend of spices.

  • Add Lemon Juice:

    • Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the seasoned salmon fillets. This extra touch will brighten up the flavors beautifully. Lemon juice adds a refreshing zest and balances the spices, creating a well-rounded taste.

  • Bake the Salmon:

    • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the salmon flakes easily with a fork! The cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so keep a close eye on them.

  • Let It Rest:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help keep it moist and flavorful. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the salmon tender and juicy.

  • Garnish and Serve:

    • Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley over the top for a nice pop of color. This adds a fresh, vibrant touch, enhancing the visual appeal of the dish.
    • Serve with lemon slices on the side for an extra zesty kick. This provides an extra burst of flavor, allowing diners to customize their meal.
    • Enjoy your delicious Texas Roadhouse-style salmon!

Notes

  • Pat salmon dry for better spice adhesion.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper for desired heat.
  • Check for flakiness with a fork to avoid overcooking.
  • Let salmon rest for optimal moisture.
