Ingredients

  • 20 ounce salmon filet ideally center-cut
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 cup fresh herbs, minced such as dill, parsley, thyme or oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray or line with foil and spray. Place salmon filet skin-side down on prepared baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Using a spoon or pastry brush, gently spread the herbed mixture on top of salmon. Bake until salmon is fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
