Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place on the sheet pan. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.

Notes: This simple oven-baked salmon comes together in just 20 minutes and leans on everyday seasonings like garlic, brown sugar, paprika and pepper for an easy weeknight dinner. Feel free to swap in your favorite spices or blends, or serve with some fresh, chopped herbs if you have them on hand. Center-cut salmon fillets will take a few minutes longer to cook because of their thickness, so monitor doneness with a fork (the fish will flake easily when cooked). Serve with simple weeknight sides like couscous and sautéed kale, or use as a protein to top salads or grain bowls.
