Lemon Herb Roasted Salmon

Ingredients

For 4 servings

• 800 g Salmon fillets
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 1 piece Lemon, zested and juiced
• 15 g Fresh dill, chopped
• 15 g Fresh parsley, chopped
• 5 g Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 clove Garlic, minced
• 5 g Salt
• 2 g Black pepper
• 4 piece Lemon wedges (optional)

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan‑forced). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Place the salmon fillets skin‑side down on the prepared tray, spacing them evenly.

4. 4

   Brush the herb‑lemon mixture over the top of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.

5. 5

   Roast in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center; the skin should be lightly crisp.

6. 6

   Remove from oven, let rest 2 minutes, then serve each fillet with a lemon wedge.
