Ingredients:

  • 4 (about 170g each) salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher or Sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4–6 thin lemon slices (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the herb marinade.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets very dry using paper towels.
  4. Place the dry fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or brush the herb mixture evenly over the top surface of each fillet.
  5. Garnish by arranging 1-2 thin lemon slices on top of each fillet, if desired.
  6. Bake for 12 to 18 minutes. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving immediately.
