Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside, then cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl.
In the bowl with the lemon juice, mix in the chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined to create a herb mixture.
Spread the herb mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring the top is well covered.
Add a couple of lemon slices on top of each fillet for extra flavor.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, with a sprinkle of reserved lemon zest for added brightness. Enjoy your Whole30 oven-baked salmon!
