Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Salmon fillets
4 (6 oz each)
Olive oil
3 tablespoons
Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons, chopped
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Lemon
1, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Generously rub the rosemary and garlic mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coat for maximum flavor.
  5. Top each fillet with a few slices of lemon, allowing the citrus to enhance the dish's brightness as it roasts.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Pair with additional lemon wedges for a burst of freshness!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute the salmon with other fish varieties such as trout or sea bass, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
  • 💡 Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
