Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, chives, olive oil, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form an herb paste.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
Step 4
Evenly spread the herb mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, pressing gently so the herbs adhere to the fish.
Step 5
Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zesty flavor.
