  3. Melt butter and stir in the minced garlic.

  5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Maple Fixx, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Tips for Perfect Oven Roasted Salmon

  • Pull the salmon early — carryover heat finishes the cook.
  • Thicker fillets cook closer to 22 minutes.
  • For extra colour, broil for the final 1–2 minutes (keep it tight).

Why This Recipe Works

  • Maple Fixx adds balanced sweetness without overpowering the fish
  • Butter keeps the salmon moist and rich
  • Smoked paprika brings subtle BBQ depth, even in the oven
