Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces or approximately 170 grams each)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon of cracked black pepper (or a pinch if finely ground)
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 teaspoon of Italian herb seasoning blend or Herbs de Provence (or a substitute mix of ¼ teaspoon each of dried thyme, parsley, oregano, and basil)
1 medium lemon
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 400°F (about 204°C) and grease a large baking pan.
2-Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, seasoning them generously with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper.
3-In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning (or substitute), and juice of half the lemon.
4-Spoon this mixture over the salmon, rubbing it evenly on all sides to prevent dry spots.
5-Thinly slice the remaining half of the lemon and place a slice on each fillet.
