AuthorHeather BlakeCategoryDairy free, Gluten-free, SeafoodDifficultyBeginnerSO simple for weeknights or entertaining! Roasted lemon, savory olive oil, flavorful herbs, and perfectly-cooked moist salmon!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Tear off two large square portions of parchment paper. Not waxed paper. Not foil.
Rinse salmon in cool water. Pat dry with paper towel. Place each filet on a parchment paper.
Season each filet with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle garlic over both filets.
Sprinkle chopped herbs over both filets.
Drizzle ~1/2 tsp. olive oil on each filet (more oil will come later).
Slice lemon very thinly and place slices on top of filets.
Fold parchment paper so it completely encloses fish into a packet. I usually like to fold the two sides underneath to keep it from popping open. Alternatively, you can roll the sides closed.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness and your preference of doneness. (25 minutes worked perfectly for the salmon in the picture).
Using a spatula, place onto a serving plate. Drizzle more olive oil on top of the lemon and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
This pairs great with rice and broccoli. Squeeze some lemon juice onto the broccoli to tie it all together!
