How to Make Lemon Herb Salmon
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the fillets generously with the olive oil mixture.
- Top each fillet with fresh lemon slices and sprinkle with chopped parsley and dill.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with additional herbs if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your salmon fillets are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without overcooking.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the olive oil mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the herbs for your favorites; basil or thyme can also work well.
- Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the olive oil mixture for a tangy kick.
- Incorporate a splash of white wine into the baking process for added depth of flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Herb-roasted potatoes for a hearty side.
- Steamed asparagus or green beans for a fresh crunch.
- A simple mixed green salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
- Quinoa or couscous for a filling grain option.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the salmon in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the fish.
