I love salmon and I love spicy food. Combining them together is one of the best ideas I’ve ever had 😉 And it only takes 10 minutes from start to finish to make this spicy baked salmon! Plus it’s a pretty easy clean up. I love making my 6 minute salmon in the cast iron skillet but clean up can be a pain! Baking it is a little bit longer but so worth it if you want minimal clean up!
The tip to getting salmon perfectly crispy is to broil it for 2 minutes at the end. I am a huge fan in broiling anything to make it taste better! It works for veggies, baked goods, sweet potatoes, really anything. Just keep an eye on it, I’ve had far too many times when I walked away for a minute and walked back to blackened food haha.
I used wild caught salmon for this recipe, mixed the spices together, rubbed a little olive oil on the salmon, and sprinkled the salmon with the mixture. Baked it in the oven for 8 minutes then broiled for 2 more minutes. Easy to make and easy to clean up! Now the fun part, figuring out what to pair it with 😉
I paired mine with avocado, sweet potato fries, brussel sprouts, and tomatoes. The nice thing about this meal is here are so many different combos salmon is amazing with! My preferred method is to combine whatever roasted veggies I have in the fridge into a bowl and add the crispy salmon in. This recipe is so delicious and so easy! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
