Ingredients
- 🍣4 fillets salmon
- 🍋2 lemons
- 🧄2 cloves garlic
- 🌿2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 🌿1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 🫒2 tbsp olive oil
- 🧂½ tsp salt
- 🌶️¼ tsp black pepper
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, let the salmon marinate in the herb mixture for 15-30 minutes before baking.
- Do not overcook the salmon; it will become dry. It should be opaque throughout but still moist.
- Try experimenting with other fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for a different flavor profile.
Method
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped parsley. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the mixture.
- 4Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the lemon-herb mixture evenly over each fillet.
- 5Slice the second lemon into thin rounds and arrange them over the salmon fillets.
- 6Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 7Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
