Healthy Baked Salmon

A dinner of fish is healthy and fast! Here’s another easy way to fix a delicious supper of salmon. The ingredients are few and the taste is bright and delicious! I made this last week and it was so good!

Healthy Baked Salmon

Ingredients

  • ▢ 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ▢ ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ▢ ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ▢ 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ▢ ¼ teaspoon each dried thyme, parsley, oregano, and basil
  • ▢ 1 medium lemon

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a large baking pan. Arrange salmon fillets on the baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Stir together olive oil, garlic, herbs, and juice of 1/2 lemon. Spoon over salmon fillets being sure to rub all over the tops and sides of the salmon so it has no dry spots. Thinly slice remaining 1/2 of lemon and top each piece of salmon with a slice of lemon.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flaky when pulled apart with a fork. You can broil the last 1-2 minutes if desired.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired and serve.

I served the salmon with roasted broccoli, Jasmine rice and a simple cucumber salad. These are simple recipes, but so satisfying!

Enjoy!
