  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, black pepper, minced garlic, onion powder, and chili powder to create a flavorful spice blend. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the salmon steaks.

  • Slide the tray into the preheated oven and bake the salmon steaks for 12 minutes, just until they're cooked through and flaky, ensuring a moist and tender interior.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making each bite succulent. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
