Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin until well combined.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cut the lemon into slices and arrange these slices on top of the salmon fillets.
Place the rosemary and thyme sprigs over the lemon slices on the salmon to infuse flavor during baking.
Bake the salmon fillets in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for a couple of minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle the baked salmon with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve the dairy-free oven-baked salmon warm, accompanied by your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
