Ingredients
  

  • 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chopped garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring well to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Arrange the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish and generously drizzle the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is thoroughly coated.
  4. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is tender and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  5. Once done, take it out of the oven and allow it to rest for a few moments.
  6. Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley on top before serving.
