Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, chives, olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form an herb paste.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Evenly spread the herb mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently so the herbs adhere to the fish.
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
