Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Brush the olive oil and herb mixture generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Place two lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet to infuse flavor as they cook.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the baked salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your keto lemon herb baked salmon!
