To make the marinade, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, paprika, thyme, garlic, and freshly ground pepper.

Place the salmon fillet(s) into a lightly greased baking dish skin side down. Pour over the marinade on the salmon fillet(s) and spread it evenly using a silicon brush.

At this stage, you can let the salmon marinate for 30 minutes before baking it. If you are in hurry, skip the marinating time and preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F).

When the oven is hot, place the baking dish and cook the salmon for 18 to 20 minutes, until its color turned opaque and it flakes easily with a fork.

This delicious baked salmon pairs beautifully with a side of salad like Orzo Pasta Salad or Lebanese Fattoush Salad. Click on 👇 "learn more" for the full recipe.
