Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons capers (unsalted, rinsed)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half. Slice one half into thin rounds and juice the other half.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, onion powder, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Brush each fillet generously with the marinade, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
Step 7
Arrange the lemon slices and capers evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Step 8
Let the fillets sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm with a sprinkle of additional fresh herbs if desired.
