Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams salmon fillet
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried sage
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh fennel, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 140 degrees celsius (280 degrees fahrenheit) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Lay the salmon on the baking sheet and drizzle it with 1 tsp of olive oil. Run the crushed garlic evenly over the salmon.
  • In a bowl combine the paprika, pepper, chili powder, oregano and sage. Sprinkle the spices over the salmon so that it is completely coated all over. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tsp olive oil and then place the tray in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. 
  • The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Remove it from the oven and squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the salmon. Sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped fennel before serving.
