  2. Step 2: Mix 1 tbsp grated turmeric, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 1 tsp salt; rub mixture onto salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, top with 1 thinly sliced lemon, and bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are crispy and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
