Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 lemon, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. This will be your flavorful marinade.

      Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush both sides of the fillets generously with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Place lemon slices on top of the fillets for added flavor.

        Roast the salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

          Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a bright finish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing. Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
