Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 lemons (zest of 1 and juice of both)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Lemon slices (for garnish)

Fresh herb sprigs (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish skin-side down. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can let it marinate for about 15-30 minutes if time allows for extra flavor.

        Bake the Salmon: Once marinated, put your dish in the preheated oven. Bake the salmon for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

          Garnish and Serve: After removing the salmon from the oven, garnish with additional lemon slices and fresh herb sprigs if desired. Serve the zesty lemon herb salmon hot, alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or quinoa.
