Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 wedges (for serving) lemon wedges
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
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if the skin is intact).
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush or spoon the herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Be sure to coat the top and sides of each fillet thoroughly.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the herbed salmon fillets with lemon wedges on the side, and pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
