Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the herb mixture generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the top of the fillets for added brightness.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should register 145°F (63°C) when measured with a food thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the herbed salmon fillets immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
