Lemon Herb Salmon
The easiest, most delicious and healthy Baked Lemon Herb Salmon recipe combines fresh ingredients for tons of flavor! It's made in less than 30 minutes, and it's gluten free and Whole30 compliant.
Ingredients
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest, fresh grated
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds salmon
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the olive oil to a small mixing bowl. Add the basil, rosemary, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon skin side down in a shallow baking dish. Top with the lemon herb mixture.
- Thinly slice the additional lemon and place on top of the salmon.
- Place the salmon in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
Notes
- Cooking Time: The salmon should be cooked for 10 minutes per 1 inch of thickness, measured from the thickest part of the same. For example, a 1 1/2 inch thick salmon should cook for 15 minutes.
- Leftovers: Leftover cooked salmon will stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days. While I don't recommend reheating the salmon, it is delicious served cold over a salad.
