Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to the broil setting (high heat, about 500°F). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Step 4
Lay one slice of bacon across the top of each salmon fillet. Tuck the ends of the bacon underneath the fillets to secure them.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet on the top rack of the oven, about 5-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. (Tip: Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure it doesn't burn.)
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the salmon warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a green salad.
