Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, parsley, basil, thyme, dill, and minced garlic. Stir in the olive oil to create a herb mixture.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the fillets evenly.
Step 4
Generously spread the herb mixture on top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute.
Step 7
Serve each fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for added flavor.
