Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole zest of lemon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the juice of the lemon, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 4
Pour the herb mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the fillets, and place small pieces of unsalted butter on top of each fillet.
Step 6
Fold the edges of the parchment paper or foil to form a sealed packet around the salmon, retaining the moisture and flavors.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, carefully open the packet to avoid steam, and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with extra fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
