1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the spice mixture generously over the top and sides of each fillet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time might vary slightly depending on the thickness of your fillets.
5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
6. Serve with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.

Remember, cooking is about trusting your instincts. As my abuela taught me, let your senses guide you — the aroma of the spices and the color of the salmon will tell you when it’s perfect.
