Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 ½ pounds skin-on salmon filet
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups mango salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced neatly
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, ground ginger, sea salt, and cayenne pepper; stir until evenly mixed.
- Place the salmon skin side down on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over the top.
- Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the fish, rubbing it gently to ensure complete coverage.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven until it easily flakes with a fork—approximately 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet.
- Serve the salmon hot, topped with mango salsa and elegantly adorned with sliced avocado.
