Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a fragrant marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously rub the rosemary and garlic mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coat for maximum flavor.
- Top each fillet with a few slices of lemon, allowing the citrus to enhance the dish's brightness as it roasts.
- 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).
- 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.
