03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup
04 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
06 - 2 teaspoons lemon zest
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1 teaspoon paprika
10 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley
11 - 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
12 - Salt to taste
13 - Lemon wedges for serving
14 - Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of olive oil.
02 - Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk melted butter, olive oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
04 - Brush the glaze evenly over each salmon fillet, coating the top thoroughly.
05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork and the top is slightly caramelized.
06 - Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Avoid overcooking the salmon to preserve its moist, flaky texture. It continues to cook slightly after removal from the oven.
02 - Using parchment paper helps retain moisture and makes cleanup easier.
