Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over the top of each salmon fillet to coat them evenly.
Place a lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet for added brightness and flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a green salad.
