Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin until well combined.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Cut the lemon into slices and arrange these slices on top of the salmon fillets.

Step 6

Place the rosemary and thyme sprigs over the lemon slices on the salmon to infuse flavor during baking.

Step 7

Bake the salmon fillets in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove from oven and allow to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the baked salmon with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free oven-baked salmon warm, accompanied by your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
