Ingredients:

  • 4 Salmon Fillets (approx. 6 oz/170g each)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill, chopped
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (or Kosher Salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prepare the Herb Paste: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper until well combined into a cohesive paste.
  3. Coat the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the lined baking sheet, ensuring adequate space between them. Generously spoon or brush the herb mixture evenly over the top surface of each fillet.
  4. Bake: Place the tray into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 18 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  5. Monitor Doneness: Fish is done when it easily flakes with a fork, or when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest & Serve: Carefully remove the salmon from the oven. Let it rest for 2 minutes before gently lifting onto serving plates.
