Baked Salmon Steaks

Ingrédients

• 4 salmon steaks (small bones removed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Fresh basil (for garnish)

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Gently pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Season salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, minced garlic, onion powder, and chili powder to create a flavorful spice blend. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the salmon steaks.

3. 3

   Bake: Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake the salmon steaks for 12 minutes, just until they're cooked through and flaky, ensuring a moist and tender interior.

4. 4

   Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite succulent. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
