Fresh Salmon filet rubbed with Herbs and seasonings and baked in a fresh garlic lemon dressing until tender and juicy. Such a quick and easy weeknight meal served with your favorite rice and vegetables!
Ingredients
- 1 filet Salmon *approx 1 lb or .5 kg
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
- 1 tsp parsley flakes
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt *or 1/8 tsp table salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and remove salmon filet from refrigerator for 10 minutes to rest while you prepare the lemon herb sauce.
-
Mince the garlic cloves and add all the ingredients to the olive oil including the lemon juice.
-
Line a baking sheet with foil making sure to have enough foil to wrap up and seal the salmon. Place the salmon in the centre of the sheet and pour the lemon herb sauce on top and making sure to evenly coat the filet. Add asparagus or your vegetable of choice around the sides of the filet then tent the foil over top and seal all the edges.
-
Bake for 15 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. Open the foil and check if it is done by peeking inside the filet with a fork. When the salmon is all opaque and not translucent pink it is complete. I turned the oven to broil 500 for the last 2 minutes just to sear the top but be sure not to over bake.
-
Serve immediately with rice and vegetables!
