Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, parsley, basil, thyme, dill, and minced garlic. Stir in the olive oil to create a herb mixture.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the fillets evenly.
Generously spread the herb mixture on top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Serve each fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for added flavor.
