Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 1 Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Low sodium vegetable or chicken broth
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 lightly greased with olive oil.
Step 3
Zest the lemon to get 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and then juice the lemon, setting both aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, and lemon zest. Mix well to create the marinade.
Step 5
Drizzle the low sodium vegetable or chicken broth around the salmon fillets to keep them moist.
Step 6
Brush the marinade generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
Step 7
Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and garnish with additional fresh parsley or dill, if desired.
