Best Easy Healthy Baked Salmon

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a large baking pan.
2. Arrange salmon fillets on the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Stir together olive oil, garlic, herbs, and the juice of half the lemon.
4. Spoon the mixture over the salmon, rubbing it over the tops and sides so there are no dry spots.
5. Thinly slice the remaining half lemon and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Optionally broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra color.
8. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired and serve.
