This Lemon Rosemary Salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon fillets baked with zesty lemon and aromatic rosemary, creating a simple yet gourmet dish that's full of flavor and perfect for a nutritious weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 lemons, thinly sliced
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic (if using).
  • Lay lemon slices and rosemary sprigs over the salmon fillets.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For an extra burst of flavor, try marinating the salmon with lemon juice and rosemary for 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you prefer a crispy exterior, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a light salad.
