Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, and chili powder until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Generously spread the spice mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet. Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the spiced salmon. (2 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 13-15 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). (15 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mixture for a touch of heat.
Serve this Brazilian Spiced Salmon with a side of coconut rice and grilled vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
If you don't have brown sugar on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of honey or maple syrup.
