Baked Salmon with Sweet & Smoky Rub
This simple and delicious baked salmon has a sweet and smoky rub that everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs salmon (coho or sockeye, but anything will work) cut into 4 pieces
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp brown sugar light or dark will work
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix all seasonings together until combined.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place each filet on the pan.
- Drizzle salmon with olive oil and spread with clean fingers or a brush. Heavily sprinkle the seasoning on and let sit for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the middle of the oven.
- Bake salmon for 8-11 minutes until it reaches desired doneness. Personally, I like it medium, so I aim for 8-9, but if you have a thicker piece or prefer it more well-done, cook a bit longer.
- Remove from skin and enjoy.
