Ingredients
  

4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 large lemon, zested and juiced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Fresh parsley or dill (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish. Pour the marinade evenly over the salmon, making sure each fillet is coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor).

        Bake the Salmon: Once marinated, place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and transfer the salmon to plates. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and additional parsley or dill if desired. Serve with your favorite side of vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
