A delightful and easy-to-make baked salmon recipe infused with fresh lemon and aromatic herbs.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the salmon.
Place the salmon fillet in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil.
Lining the dish with foil makes cleanup easier and helps retain moisture.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillet.
Ensure the oil is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Slice the lemon and place half of the slices on top of the salmon.
Thin slices of lemon allow the flavor to infuse better into the salmon.
Sprinkle the thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper over the salmon.
Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor.
Cover the salmon with the remaining lemon slices and wrap the foil to create a sealed parcel.
Sealing the foil ensures the salmon steams in its own juices, keeping it moist.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Check the salmon's doneness by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing the flavor.
