Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the seasoned salmon fillets with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
