Creating Texas Roadhouse Salmon at home is easy! Follow these steps to achieve a perfect dish:

1. Preheat the Grill or Oven: Start by preheating your grill to medium heat, or you can use an oven set to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Salmon Fillets: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps them sear beautifully.
3. Season the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Brush this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
4. Add Lemon Juice: Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fillets for added flavor.
5. Grill Salmon: Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until they are flaky and cooked through.
6. Oven Cooking Alternative: If you’re baking, place the fillets on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety.
8. Garnish: Remove from the heat and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
9. Rest Before Serving: Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

Following these steps will yield a delectable salmon dish that mirrors the delicious experience of dining at Texas Roadhouse.
