Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Lay the salmon fillets out on the sheet. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, smoked paprika, regular paprika, and chili powder until well mixed. Spread this flavorful mixture evenly over the salmon. Give everything a fresh squeeze of lemon juice on top. Pop the salmon in the oven and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until it flakes easily when you test it with a fork. Enjoy!
