Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and place a slice or two on top of each fillet for added flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
