Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
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
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half and slice the other half into thin slices. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and fresh thyme until well combined.
Step 5
Brush or spoon the lemon herb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Step 6
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the salmon fillets for added flavor.
Step 7
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with any remaining pan juices spooned over the top.
