Preparing Salmon
  1. Once salmon is thawed, massage 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper into the salmon.
  2. Place in ziplocked bag.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of Trinidad Green Seasoning to ziplocked bag and shake to cover all of salmon.
  4. Marinade for 2-6 hrs.
Oven-Baked Salmon Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Spray baking sheet generously with cooking spray of choice or olive oil.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to salmon and massage.
  4. Squeeze half of a fresh lemon and add used lemon to the baking sheet to bake with salmon.
  5. Bake without a cover for 20 minutes.
  6. Squeeze lemon once more over salmon.
  7. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt (optional)
  8. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Broiled Salmon Instructions (8oz - 14oz portion)
  1. Set the broiler on high with the rack about 8-10 inches from the top.
  2. Lightly spray cooking pan and top and bottom of salmon with cooking spray.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to salmon and massage.
  4. Squeeze half of a fresh lemon all over the salmon
  5. Broil 9 minutes for medium. 12 minutes for medium-well. 15 minutes for well-done or blackened salmon recipe.

Air fryer Salmon Instructions (8 oz portion)
  1. Set the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
  2. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. I make my own cooking spray using an Evo spray bottle as pre-made ones tend to ruin the basket. These work great for all cooking needs.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to salmon and massage.
  4. Squeeze half of a fresh lemon all over the salmon
