Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 large lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
Zest the lemon using a fine grater and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl until you have about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a small bowl, finely chop garlic cloves and mix them with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Brush each salmon fillet evenly with the lemon and garlic mixture.
Season the salmon with the ground black pepper, onion powder, and paprika, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the top of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
While the salmon bakes, finely chop the fresh parsley.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the reserved lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley over the top for added freshness.
Serve hot with your favorite side of steamed vegetables or a light salad.
