Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) salmon fillets (skin-on, if possible)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and 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.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush or spoon the marinade evenly over the top of the salmon fillets, ensuring the surface is fully coated.
Place a lemon slice on each salmon fillet for added flavor and a touch of elegance.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and garnish each fillet with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the Easy Incredible Salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
