Garlic-Crusted Salmon
Ingredients:
4 skinless salmon fillets
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp cracked white pepper
½ tsp paprika

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Whisk garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, lemon juice and olive oil together in a small bowl. Place the
