Ingredients

  • Salmon
  • Garlic Powder
  • Pepper and salt
  • Fresh Lemon
  • Olive Oil or Olive Oil Spray

Instructions

  1. I make a bed of aluminum foil to put onto a sheet pan
  2. Next add a little olive oil over the bottom of the foil or non stick olive oil spray
  3. Then prepare the salmon
  4. Lay the salmon over the prepared foil
  5. Lightly drizzle olive oil over the top
  6. Sprinkle the salmon with garlic powder, pepper, and a dash of salt
  7. Squeeze half a lemon over the salmon
  8. Bake in the oven until the salmon flakes or reaches an internal temperature of 145 F degrees

Recipe Notes

Additionally, if you don't want to use garlic powder you can substitute that with minced garlic cloves. For thinner cuts of Salmon you can cook it at a higher temperature for less time. 425 F degrees for 10-15 minutes.
