Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salmon fillets.

Chop the fresh dill and parsley. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, gently pressing it onto the fish.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs or lemon slices, if desired.
