Directions

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

Step

Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure it is evenly coated. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Reserve the marinade.

Step

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets.

Step

While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until slightly reduced and thickened. This will be the drizzling sauce for the salmon.

Step

Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle the reduced marinade over the top.

Step

Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley, if desired.

Step

Serve the Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.

Tips for this recipe
