Instructions

Lay the salmon fillet on a cutting board and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and paprika, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar.
Sprinkle the dry mixture over the salmon, pressing it gently before lifting it to let the excess fall off.
Cover a baking sheet with non-stick foil and place the salmon on top.
Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes, adjusting the time for thick fillets, then broil on high for 2 minutes to crisp the top, checking for doneness in the center.
Let the salmon rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding lemon slices on top before baking.
Adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.
