The refreshing taste of our Zesty Lemon-Herb Baked Salmon, infused with a blend of Mediterranean herbs and a zesty lemon twist is a must-try. This simple yet flavourful dish promises a delicious meal, ready in minutes!

Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ teaspoon of sea salt
¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of a blend of dried thyme, parsley, oregano, and basil
1 medium lemon

Instructions:

1 Prepare and Season
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a large baking dish and place the salmon fillets inside. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
2 Mix and Marinate
Combine olive oil, garlic, and the herb blend in a bowl. Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over the mix. Drizzle this mixture over the salmon, ensuring all parts are covered.
3 Bake
Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is flaky and opaque. For a golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes.
4 Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and lemon slices from the remaining half lemon.
