Ingredients
Scale
- 4 portions of salmon fillet (~6 oz each)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4–5 slices of lemon
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mince the garlic and chop the parsley and dill. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the herb mixture.
- Season the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a greased baking dish.
- Brush the herb mixture generously over each fillet, ensuring the tops are fully coated.
- Lay thin lemon slices on top of each fillet for added flavor.
- Roast the Salmon:
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the salmon. It should flake easily and appear opaque.
- Optional Broiling:
- For a slightly caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil mode for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve and Garnish:
- Transfer the roasted salmon to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- Customize Herbs: Feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme, rosemary, or cilantro.
- Avoid Overcooking: Remove the salmon as soon as it flakes easily to keep it tender.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with roasted asparagus, quinoa, or a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
- Leftovers: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
