Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large lemon
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, melted butter, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Zest the lemon and sprinkle the zest evenly over the salmon fillets. Then, cut the zested lemon in half and juice one half of it, setting aside the other half for garnish.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add them to the olive oil mixture. Pour this mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Chop the fresh parsley, dill, and thyme finely. Sprinkle the chopped herbs liberally over the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the salmon for a burst of fresh citrus flavor.
Transfer the salmon to individual plates and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs and lemon slices if desired.
