Paprika-Glazed Salmon

Here’s a bold and versatile recipe that highlights a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and smoky flavours.

Paprika-Glazed Salmon

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or off)  
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)  
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra glaze)  
- Lemon wedges (for serving)  
- Fresh dill or parsley (optional garnish) 

Instructions

1. Season the Salmon:
   - Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil.  
   - Generously coat both sides of the salmon with the F N Good Food BBQ seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.  

2. Cook the Salmon:
   - Pan-Seared Method: 
     - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil.  
     - Place salmon spice-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes until a caramelized crust forms. Flip and cook 3–4 minutes more until flaky.  
     - Optional: Drizzle honey over the salmon in the last 1–2 minutes for a glossy glaze.
 
   - Oven-Baked Method:
     - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).  
     - Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes.  

3. Serve:
   - Squeeze lemon wedges over the salmon. Garnish with fresh herbs.  

Serving Suggestions:
- With Grains: Serve over cilantro-lime rice, quinoa, or farro.  
- Vegetable Pairings: Pair with roasted Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or a crisp cucumber salad.  
- Dipping Sauce: Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of F N Good Food BBQ seasoning.  

Vegetarian version
Replace salmon with thick slices of halloumi cheese or portobello mushrooms. Adjust cook time (halloumi: 2–3 minutes per side; mushrooms: roast for 15–20 minutes).  

Tips
- For extra crispy skin: Season the skin side with salt first, press F N Good Food BBQ seasoning onto the flesh side only.  
- Heat Lovers: Add ½ tsp cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
