Description
A delicious and aromatic dish featuring roasted salmon fillet marinated in garlic and lemon, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) Salmon Fillet
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4-6 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Lemon (for zest and juice)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1 additional Lemon, thinly sliced (for roasting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay half of the lemon rounds in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Gently pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
- Place the salmon fillet on top of the lemon slices.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, zest, and juice of one lemon. Whisk in the dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until well blended.
- Pour the garlic lemon mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
- Place any remaining lemon slices around the sides and on top of the salmon.
- Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature registers 130-135°F (54-57°C).
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the hot salmon.
- Let the fish rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Transfer the salmon to a serving platter or serve directly from the baking sheet.
Notes
Ensure you use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes if time permits.
