Ingredients

For the Salmon

4 fillets Salmon Fillets Choose wild-caught varieties like Sockeye or King for the best flavor.

For the Glaze

3 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds moisture and helps achieve a crispy exterior; avocado oil is a good alternative.
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides depth; feel free to use fresh minced garlic if you prefer.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances savory notes; fresh onion can work, though it might change the texture.
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Infuses a delicious smoky flavor; regular paprika works if you prefer it milder.
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Adds an aromatic herbal touch; fresh thyme can be swapped in, but adjust the quantity.
½ teaspoon Salt Essential for basic seasoning; substitute sea salt for kosher salt, if desired.
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Essential for basic seasoning.
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice Brightens the dish and enhances overall flavor; bottled juice is a last resort.

For Serving

2 wedges Lemon Wedges Perfect for that extra burst of freshness when serving.
