Ingredients
Salmon fillets (4 pieces, 6 oz each)
Fresh parsley (½ cup chopped)
Lemon (2, 1 for zest, 1 juiced)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Olive oil (2 tbsp)
Salt (1 tsp, or to taste)
Black pepper (½ tsp, or to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place salmon fillets skin-side down
In a bowl, mix lemon zest, juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper
Spread the mixture evenly over the salmon
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 5–10 minutes until golden
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Use fresh lemon for best flavor. Parchment paper prevents sticking. Add remaining lemon halves on the side for garnish. Substitute arctic char for a different flavor. Serve with steamed vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
