Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

    Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
