Baked Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon (zest and juice)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 4 (6-ounce ) salmon fillets (skin on )
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   In a shallow dish, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon fillets and turn a few times to coat the salmon well with the marinade. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it. Place the salmon skin-side down, spooning extra marinade over the top. Bake 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 125–130°F.

3. 3

   Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
