Paleo roasted salmon is an easy go-to for dinner in a rush. Just add some veggies or a salad and you have a great meal that takes very little time.
In this recipe I used my homemade all purpose seasoning to season the salmon, but if you don’t have any on hand you could use paprika, garlic, and maybe add a little ground mustard. Salmon does not take very long to cook so check it several times. If overcooked, salmon will become dry and tasteless. You want to check the thickest part of the salmon with a fork to see if it is done. When the flesh is opaque and the fish flakes easily it is ready to take out of the oven. Top the salmon with sautéed lemon and garlic slices and it is ready to serve.
