Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
Zest the lemon and then juice it. You will need about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the herb marinade.
Brush the herb marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Slice the remaining lemon into thin rounds and place a couple of slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
