Ingredients

  • 1 whole salmon filet, about 2 to 2 ½ pounds, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup onion bacon jam
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon filet skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the surface of the salmon dry with a paper towel. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and use your hands or a brush to evenly coat the surface.
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over the salmon and gently press it into the surface.
  • Spoon the bacon jam over the top of the salmon. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer across the entire filet, edge to edge.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the thickest part of the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For medium doneness, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and chives if desired.
