Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
Zest the lemon to get 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and then juice the lemon, setting both aside.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the marinade.
Drizzle the low sodium vegetable or chicken broth around the salmon fillets to keep them moist.
Brush the marinade generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm and garnish with additional fresh parsley or dill, if desired.
