Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
In another small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Place a slice of lemon on top of each fillet.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the seasoned salmon fillets with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
