Tap a step to mark it done.
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the sheet and pat the tops dry with a paper towel.
- In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper.
- Spoon the mixture over the fillets and top each one with a lemon slice.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
- Serve right away with extra lemon wedges, rice or a green salad.
Cook's tips
- Thinner fillets cook faster — start checking at 10 minutes.
- Leftovers are delicious cold, flaked over a salad the next day.
