Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush the herb mixture generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the top of the fillets for added brightness.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should register 145°F (63°C) when measured with a food thermometer.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Step 8
Serve the herbed salmon fillets immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
