Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets Choose high-quality, fresh salmon for best flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil For a rich base.
  • 1 piece lemon, sliced For brightening flavors.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced For that aromatic kick.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust seasoning as desired.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or parsley Optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the salmon will cook evenly.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Scatter the minced garlic and lemon slices over the salmon, allowing their juices to seep into the fish.
Cooking
  1. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently to maintain texture. Feel free to experiment with spices and variations.
