Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh basil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 wedges (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, parsley, dill, basil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create the herb rub.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Using your hands or a brush, evenly coat the top of each salmon fillet with the herb mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-rubbed salmon fillets with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
