  2. Cut the salmon fillet into two large pieces, set them skin-side down on a baking tray and stir the olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chilli powder and lemon zest into a marinade.
  3. Coat the salmon pieces with the marinade, season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper and roast them for 10 to 12 minutes.
