- 1-1 1/2 pounds raw salmon Mine were sliced into fillets 4-6oz each.
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and then sprinkle the spices throughout. Rub the spices into the salmon and along the edges of the salmon.
