Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine fresh parsley, dill, thyme leaves, and lemon zest. Pulse until finely chopped.
Transfer the herb mixture to a small bowl and stir in garlic powder and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Brush the tops of the salmon fillets lightly with olive oil, then evenly distribute the herb mixture over each fillet, pressing gently so that the herbs adhere well.
Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the herb-crusted salmon.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm with your choice of low-sodium side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
