Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillets on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Slice the lemon into thin rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely and combine them in a separate bowl.
Brush each salmon fillet generously with the olive oil and garlic mixture.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place a few lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the herb-roasted salmon with additional lemon wedges if desired.
