Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, the zest of the lemon, and the juice from half of the lemon.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the olive oil mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the mixture, then stir in salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried dill until combined.
Brush or spoon the olive oil mixture generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Cut the remaining half of the lemon into thin slices and place a slice or two on top of each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving if desired.
Serve the baked salmon fillet warm with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
