Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet (cut into 4 filets)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp extra light olive oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 g arlic cloves (minced, pressed, or grated)
  • 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
  • 1/2 lemon (sliced into 4 rings for garnish)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone liner, parchment, or foil. Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side-down.

  2. In a small bowl, add the marinade ingredients: parsley, garlic, oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

  3. Generously spread the marinade, brushing over the top and sides of the salmon then top each piece with a slice of lemon.*

  4. Bake uncovered at 450°F for 12-15 min or until just cooked through, flaky, and the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F at the thickest portion on an instant-read thermometer. Do not over-cook.
