Ingredients

4 (5-ounce) portions center-cut salmon ((1 1/4 pounds))
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Zest of 2 lemons
2 tablespoons lemon juice ((from about 1 lemon))
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1
Get ready. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Place on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
2
Make the lemon-pepper sauce. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
3
Brush the salmon with sauce. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the salmon on the top and sides with the lemon-pepper mixture.
4
Bake the salmon. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the salmon flakes easily or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the filet reaches 130*F for medium-rare or 135°F for medium.
