How To Make Easy Baked Salmon

Making this yummy salmon is super easy and takes just 20 minutes from start to finish!  The reason why the salmon cooks so quickly is that we are baking it at a high oven temperature of 425F! The higher the temp, the quicker it cooks :)

Rub the salmon with chili powder and put in the oven to bake.  While the salmon is in the oven, make the sauce. Proper time management is always key!  First put the salmon in the oven to bake, then use the free time to make the sauce.  When the salmon comes out of the oven in 15 minutes, the creamy garlic yogurt sauce will be ready to be served with the salmon!
