Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
  • 1 Lemon, juiced and sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and pour the marinade evenly over each fillet.
Cooking
  1. Top each salmon fillet with a few lemon slices, then bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the salmon for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
