  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Place the 1 to 1.5 lb salmon fillet in a baking dish in a single layer.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon avocado oil over the salmon and use a spoon or your fingers to spread the oil and lightly coat the surface.
  • Sprinkle the seasonings evenly over the salmon: ¼ tsp sea salt (to taste), ½ to 1 tsp ground turmeric (according to taste), ½ tsp ground paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Gently pat the seasonings onto the fish so they stick.
  • Allow the seasoned salmon to sit while the oven finishes preheating (a few minutes is fine).
  • Bake the salmon in the preheated 350°F oven for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest a few minutes before serving.
