Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 8 slices lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush or spoon the herb mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Top each fillet with two lemon slices for extra flavor and to keep the salmon moist during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the baked salmon immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Optionally garnish with more fresh herbs if desired.
