Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a seasoning mixture.
Brush the seasoning mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Cut the lemon in half. Slice one half into thin rounds and juice the other half.
Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over everything.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
