Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

Full of vibrant flavors that bring a taste of Brazil to your table. The spices perfectly complement the rich, tender salmon for a meal that feels both exotic and comforting. It’s quick to prepare, making it great for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Quick Kitchen Tips

- Use fresh salmon fillets for the best texture and taste.
- Let the spices marinate on the fish for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the salmon skin-side down first to get a crispy finish.

Directions

Warm your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Lay the salmon fillets out on the sheet. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, regular paprika, and chile powder until well combined. Spread this flavorful mixture evenly over the salmon. Give the fillets a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top. Pop the salmon in the oven and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This

Serve with a side of fluffy rice or quinoa and a fresh green salad to balance the spices. Grilled vegetables or roasted sweet potatoes also pair nicely and add a colorful touch to your meal.

Storing This Dish

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the fish moist and flavorful. Avoid overcooking when reheating to maintain its texture.
