Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, the juice of the lemon (about 2 tablespoons), minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure to coat them generously.
Thinly slice the remaining lemon and place the slices on top of the salmon fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and rest for about 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
