Set heat to 400°f and prepare a medium cooking pan. Sprinkle the salmon steaks lightly with salt and black pepper and place them on a cooking pan.
Search for bones by sliding your finger across the salmon slices. Then, remove the bones using salmon bone pickers if they are present.
Mix the olive oil, pepper, spices, and 1/2 lime juice in a mixing bowl. Pour over salmon pieces, making careful to spread all over the top and edges to avoid crusty areas.
Finely chop 1/2 lemon and place a chunk on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake it for 14-18 minutes, or till the salmon is dark and crispy when tested with a fork. If preferred, broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
If necessary, sprinkle with minced garlic or basil before serving.
To add more flavor, replace the lemon and finish with a sprinkling of parsley!
