Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the herb marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the herb marinade generously over the top of each fillet.
Place a lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet for added flavor and presentation.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
