Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This will help the seasonings adhere better.
Zest one of the lemons until you have about 1 teaspoon of zest. Slice both lemons into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the oil mixture evenly over each fillet.
Sprinkle the fresh dill and parsley over the salmon.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets, slightly overlapping them.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired, and enjoy your Lemon Herb Salmon!
