Lemon Juice
Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and adds acidity. You’ll need about one tablespoon to enhance the taste of the fish.
Garlic Powder
Garlic powder provides a savory depth to the dish without overpowering it. Use one teaspoon for an aromatic kick.
Salt
Salt enhances all flavors in this dish. A pinch of salt (about one-quarter teaspoon) is ideal for seasoning each fillet.
Black Pepper
Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle heat that complements the salmon nicely. Use about one-quarter teaspoon to season.
