Ingredients
- Salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each, 1 to 1.5 inches thick)
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Smoked paprika
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Fresh lemon wedges (for garnish)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
- Coat the top and sides of each salmon fillet generously with the butter and spice mixture using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-18 minutes, checking for doneness at the 12-minute mark.
- Turn on the oven’s broiler for the last 1-2 minutes for a golden finish, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and parsley.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate salmon in the butter and spice mixture for 30 minutes before baking. Use fresh ingredients for best results.
