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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
