Garlic Herb Roasted Salmon is a quick and flavorful oven-baked salmon recipe featuring fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon. This easy Garlic Herb Roasted Salmon delivers tender, flaky fish with a bright, aromatic crust—perfect for healthy weeknight dinners or elegant entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  4. Spoon the garlic herb mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, spreading to coat the surface.

  5. Roast for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the herb mixture sit for 5–10 minutes before spreading on salmon.Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.Substitute dried herbs if needed (use one-third the amount).Avoid overcooking to keep salmon moist and flaky.Fresh lemon juice is recommended for the brightest flavor.
