Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole lemon (sliced into thin rounds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and use a brush or your fingers to evenly coat them.
Sprinkle the fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub the seasonings gently into the salmon to enhance the flavor.
Evenly distribute the minced garlic over the fillets, pressing it lightly onto the surface of the fish.
Tuck one or two lemon slices on top of each fillet, followed by small sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
