Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces center-cut salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Zest the lemon using a grater and squeeze its juice into a small bowl.
In the bowl, add olive oil, finely chopped fresh dill, finely chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Brush or spoon the lemon herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Place one lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet for extra flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, for a complete meal.
