Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
Zest the lemon and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, dill, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the salmon for about 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with extra lemon wedges and fresh parsley if desired.
