Ingredients
Scale
The beauty of this recipe lies in its straightforward ingredients, all of which are likely sitting right in your pantry or fridge. Here’s what you’ll need to bring this dish to life:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced for garnish
If fresh herbs are hard to come by, dried ones work too—just reduce the quantity by half. And if you’re out of salmon, this garlic herb mixture is equally delightful on chicken or even tofu for a vegetarian twist.
Instructions
Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this delightful dish:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
- Brush each fillet generously with the garlic herb mixture, ensuring the flavors are well distributed.
- Arrange lemon slices over the top of the fillets for an extra burst of citrusy goodness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a lovely golden hue.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the salmon as it cooks. It’s easy to overcook, and you want it to be just perfect—moist and tender.
