Lemon Garlic Salmon
This lemon garlic salmon is my go-to salmon recipe! It's fresh, flavorful, healthy and so easy.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet cut into however many pieces
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic clove smashed and minced
- 1/2 tablespoon dried herbs de Provence or 1 tb fresh rosemary & thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest packed
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, herbs, coriander, and salt & pepper to taste.
- Place salmon in a baking dish, and bake salmon for 13 minutes. Stir lemon mixture and spoon about 3/4 of the mixture over the salmon.
- Place back in the oven for 2-5 more minutes, or until the salmon reaches desired doneness. I recommend medium doneness, when the salmon just starts to flake (or at an internal temperature of about 135-145 degrees).
- Serve by spooning the rest of the lemon mixture on top of the salmon.

Notes
- Salmon baking time varies based on the thickness of your salmon fillets!
- You can even make your salmon ahead, pop it in the fridge and serve it chilled.
