Servings: 3 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground turmeric according to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the salmon fillet in a baking dish, skin-side down if applicable.
  • In a small bowl combine avocado oil, sea salt, ground turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to form a seasoning mix.
  • Drizzle the oil over the salmon and rub or brush the seasoning evenly over the top of the fillet; let it sit while the oven finishes preheating.
  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired doneness (about 25 minutes is typical for a 1–1.5 lb fillet).
  • Remove from the oven and serve with your choice of sides.
