Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

If you like paprika and some zing, you’ll like this dish. Salmon has such a robust (almost fatty) flavor you get a big bang for your fish buck with this one. You could also make this dish with other fish pieces like Halibut, Sea Bass, Haddock or… even thinner pieces like Sole but you won’t cook it nearly as long.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2, 6 – 8 oz salmon filet. (I find filets are less likely to have bones and are easier to cook than steaks but you can choose)
• 1 clove of garlic, minced (jar garlic will work)
• 2 Tbl of grated onion (this means get out your grater and using the largest grating side just rub the onion across it to get a grated onion)
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• ¾ tsp of paprika (I used smoked paprika which gives it a different flavor.  Use your favorite)
• ¼ tsp of cayenne (or less if you want less spicy)
• 1 tsp of Italian seasoning
• ¼ tsp of grated sea salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix all spices in a small bowl. Spray an oven proof pan lightly with olive oil. Put in your salmon. Spread the mixture across the tops of the salmon pieces. Put in the oven to bake.

How long they will take depends on how thick they are and how you like your salmon. For medium salmon filet that’s about 1” thick in the middle it might take around 20 minutes. You can judge around that for thicker or bigger pieces or if you like your salmon more well done (like my husband does) keep it in longer.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
