Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh thyme leaves, ground coriander, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the marinade evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Top each fillet with a slice of lemon for added freshness and a hint of citrus flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (62.8°C).
Once the salmon is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh thyme if desired, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
