Spicy Baked Salmon

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Fish and Shellfish

Since we discovered this way to cook salmon, we haven't had it any other way!

 "30 minutes is way to long with a 350 degree oven. More like 20 minutes. Since I was feeding my young children I left out the cayanne pepper and it still turned out great. I let it set in the fridge with the spices for about 4 hours before cooking. My 5 year old will hardly ever eat anything, but she LOVED this dish. We served with a fresh salad and corn." - Halfmoonboy181

Spicy Baked Salmon Preparation

Combine all seasoning ingredients and spread over the surface of the salmon. Bake (skin-side down) in a 350 F oven for 20 - 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon.

If you're grilling it, do so over high heat for 10 - 15 minutes depending on thickness. Do not turn the salmon over.

Notes

This salmon can also be grilled on the barbecue, but watch for flare-ups!
