Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 fresh salmon fillets (skin-on, wild-caught recommended, about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Lemon wedges
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat your fresh salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. This step is essential to ensure the seasoning sticks well and to achieve a crispy sear on the salmon.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is evenly blended, creating the signature Texas Roadhouse Salmon seasoning.
  3. Season and Oil the Fillets: Lightly brush each salmon fillet with olive oil or melted butter on all sides. Generously sprinkle the seasoning mix over the salmon, pressing gently so the spices adhere firmly, especially on the top side.
  4. Oven Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Optional Broil for Crispiness: For an extra caramelized crust, switch the oven to broil mode during the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to prevent burning and achieve a beautifully crisp topping reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse’s signature style.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped herbs if desired. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Patting the salmon dry before seasoning helps the crust form properly.
  • Stick to the suggested seasoning amounts for authentic flavor balance.
  • Do not overcook the salmon to prevent dryness; watch cooking times closely.
  • Allow salmon to rest a few minutes post-cooking to retain juiciness.
