Instructions

Line a baking tray with foil and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, mustard and salt.
Add salmon fillets to the bowl with the lemon mixture and turn to coat.
Pre-heat your grill or broiler to 280c (or as high as it goes) and place the shelf 20cm away from the heat source/element (see my notes).
Place salmon onto the lined tray, leaving a little space between each fillet.
Place the baking tray under the grill and cook for 11 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked and the flesh flakes apart when tested with a fork.
Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley and grated parmesan (if using) and serve with extra lemon slices.

Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
My grill is a separate compartment underneath my oven, and if I take out the shelf I can sit my baking tray directly on the base so it's 20cm from the element.
I suggest lining your baking tray with foil (rather than the usual parchment/baking paper) as it can scorch under the direct heat.
