  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line sheet pan with parchment paper. Pat salmon fillets dry and place on prepared sheet. Brush each fillet evenly with extra virgin olive oil.
  • In small bowl, combine garlic, coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, sweet paprika, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Sprinkle spice mixture over tops and sides of each fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily with fork and is just cooked through.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice over fillets before serving. Serve with Garlic Sautéed Kale (see original recipe), if desired.
