Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salmon fillets.
Chop the fresh dill and parsley. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, gently pressing it onto the fish.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs or lemon slices, if desired.
