Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons 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 it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if the skin is intact).
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Brush or spoon the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Be sure to coat the top and sides of each fillet thoroughly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the herbed salmon fillets with lemon wedges on the side, and pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
