Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 lemons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat each salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, freshly squeezed juice from 1 lemon, minced garlic cloves, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and place 1-2 slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Tuck small sprigs of fresh rosemary around the salmon fillets on the baking sheet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the salmon warm with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad, and enjoy!
