Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

Zest the lemon and set the zest aside, then cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl.
Step 5
In the bowl with the lemon juice, mix in the chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined to create a herb mixture.

Spread the herb mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring the top is well covered.

Step 8
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
