Ingredients

• 4 fillets Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Lemon
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, the zest of the lemon, and the juice from half of the lemon.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the mixture, then stir in salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried dill until combined.

Step 6

Brush or spoon the olive oil mixture generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 7

Cut the remaining half of the lemon into thin slices and place a slice or two on top of each fillet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley before serving if desired.

Step 10

Serve the baked salmon fillet warm with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables or rice.
