Description
A simple recipe for baking salmon with lemon and herbs, ready in under half an hour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 thin lemon slices per fillet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the herb mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Place two thin lemon slices on top of each fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs, using double the amount (e.g., 2 teaspoons fresh dill).
- For crispier edges, you can briefly place the salmon under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
