A simple and flavorful baked salmon recipe perfect for busy weeknights, featuring lemon, garlic, and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet, cut into 4 filets
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1 small lemon)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
  • 1/2 lemon, sliced into 4 rings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with silicone, parchment, or foil.
  2. Pat the salmon dry. Arrange the fillets skin-side-down on the prepared sheet.
  3. Combine parsley, oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
  4. Brush the marinade generously over the top and down the sides of each fillet. Place a lemon ring on each piece.
  5. Bake uncovered for 12 to 15 minutes. Check for doneness: the salmon should flake with a fork and reach 145°F at the thickest portion.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a different flavor, substitute parsley with dill or chives. Adjust salt for a lower-sodium option.
