Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and rub it in gently to coat. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with the salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, dill, chives, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Using a spoon or spatula, spread the herbed mayonnaise evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets, creating a thick, even layer.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Transfer the salmon fillets to individual plates and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an optional bright, zesty squeeze of flavor.
Enjoy your delicious baked salmon with herbed mayonnaise!
