Ingredients
- ✓4 pieces salmon fillets
- ✓1 tsp smoked paprika
- ✓0.5 tsp garlic powder
- ✓0.5 tsp onion powder
- ✓2 tbsp olive oil
- ✓1 cup fresh basil leaves
- ✓0.5 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
- ✓3 tbsp parmesan cheese
- ✓1 tbsp lemon juice
- ✓2 cups cherry tomatoes
- ✓1 cup fresh corn kernels
- ✓2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
💡 Tip: Ensure the salmon is patted dry with paper towels before seasoning to help the spices adhere.
In a small bowl, whisk together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Place salmon on the prepared sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
💡 Tip: An internal temperature of 145°F is the standard for perfectly cooked salmon.
While the fish roasts, pulse the basil, yogurt (or sour cream), parmesan, and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed.
In a medium bowl, toss the halved tomatoes, corn, and chopped parsley with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Serve the roasted salmon topped with a generous spoonful of the basil sauce, accompanied by the fresh tomato-corn salad.
