Name: Oven Baked Salmon
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 (2-pound) whole salmon fillet (skin-on preferred); 3 tablespoons melted butter (OR olive oil); 2 cloves garlic (minced); 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning; 1 teaspoon ground paprika; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; ¾ teaspoon salt; ground black pepper (to taste)

Prep: Heat oven to 375°F. Place a large piece of foil on rimmed baking sheet, place salmon fillet on top (skin side down, pink side up). Crimp edges of foil around salmon to make a little "boat".

Season: Combine melted butter and minced garlic. Brush half of mixture over salmon. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl, evenly sprinkle over salmon. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter.

Bake: Bake salmon for 15-22 minutes, depending on preferred doneness (see notes for internal temperatures). Baste salmon with juices halfway through baking, if desired. Once done, remove salmon from oven and rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
