Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Lemon slices, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

    Prepare the herb mixture: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

      Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Spread the garlic herb mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.

        Bake the salmon: Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

          Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, garnish with fresh lemon slices, and serve immediately. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
