Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons (finely chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 large (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°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 skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring an even coating on each piece.
Step 5
Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors while the oven continues to preheat.
Step 6
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
