Classic Lemon Herb Baked Salmon

1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2.Pat the salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps achieve a better texture.

3.Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with the olive oil.

4.In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, dried dill, and dried thyme.

5.Sprinkle the herb and spice mixture evenly over the top surface of the salmon fillets.

6.Distribute the minced garlic around and on top of the fillets.

7.Arrange 2-3 thin slices of lemon on top of each fillet.

8.Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary based on fillet thickness.

9.Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving immediately.
