I love making this salmon with onion recipe. It's quick, easy, and super yummy! If your husband or boyfriend is a picky eater like mine, he will love this recipe.

1. Combine black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil to make a paste.
2. Spread paste over salmon fillets; set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
