Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
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 paper towels.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets.
Juice the lemon and set aside the juice. Thinly slice any remaining lemon for garnish.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with fresh thyme and rosemary leaves, sea salt, and black pepper.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing gently so it adheres.
Arrange the sliced garlic and lemon over the salmon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon slices as desired, then serve the salmon warm.
