Baked Salmon Recipe
Description
The Baked Salmon Recipe involves preparing wild-caught salmon fillets seasoned simply with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, chopped fresh dill, and chives. Lemon slices and parsley sprigs are arranged on a parchment-lined baking sheet, providing a flavorful bed for the salmon to rest on and infuse during cooking. The fish is drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and roasted at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness, allowing it to cook through while maintaining moisture. The use of lemon and fresh herbs adds brightness and a fragrant aroma that complements the rich salmon flesh. After baking, the salmon is topped with fresh herbs and served with lemon wedges, making it suitable for a straightforward, fresh-tasting meal.
