This herb-crusted salmon lends itself to experimentation: increase the proportion of your favorite herbs and spices in the rub, or swap some out entirely. You can even use a premade spice mix, like a cajun or seafood spice blend. Add a cheesy cauliflower gratin side and some keto green bean fries and you've got a keto dinner fit for any occasion.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (204ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, garlic, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Rub the salmon with the oil on all sides and place on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the top and sides of the salmon with the spice mixture.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Season with additional salt if needed and serve with lemon wedges, if using. Enjoy!
