Ingredients for Baked Salmon:

How to Make Baked Salmon:
Step 1
Line a large baking pan with aluminum foil, then place the salmon in the center, and crimp the edges as demonstrated in the video.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the butter and minced garlic until combined, then spread half of it all over the salmon evenly, and set it aside.
Step 3
In a separate small mixing bowl, add in all of the spices, then mix them until uniform, and sprinkle them all over the salmon until evenly coated.
Step 4
Drizzle the remaining garlic butter mixture on top, then place it in an oven preheated at 375°F, and then let it bake for about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Turn the oven to broil, then baste the salmon with its juices, and broil it for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
