Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half and slice the other half into thin slices. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and fresh thyme until well combined.
Brush or spoon the lemon herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets for added flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with any remaining pan juices spooned over the top.
