Ingredients

Instructions

  • Remove the salmon from the fridge and let it rest on countertop for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Drizzle salmon with avocado oil and sprinkle with all-purpose seasoning.
  • Bake salmon in a preheated 300° oven for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Finish with a liberal squeeze of lemon.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I prefer and recommend using the whole salmon filet with the skin on. It helps keep the salmon moist and easily comes away from the fish after baking.
