Delicious Spiced Salmon with Creamy Dijon Drizzle: A Flavorful Fish Feast

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Cook the Salmon:

Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, squeeze fresh lime juice over the salmon fillets.
Make the Creamy Dijon Sauce:

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve:

Place the cooked salmon fillets on plates and drizzle generously with the creamy Dijon sauce.
Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill, or serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
