Equipment
- Bowl
- spatula
- baking pan
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 6 salmon fillets
For the Marinade
- 1 pinch herbs
- 1 lemon juice
- lemon zest
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 4 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Wash the fish and set aside while you prepare the marinade for the fish.
- In a big bowl mix herbs such as oregano and basil, and 3 cloves of garlic with cayenne pepper. Add zest from a lemon and some juice in order to avoid fish aroma. (For Note: I usually press the lemon and spin it 1 minute to obtain more juice from it). Pour olive oil and mix with a fork all the ingredients.
- Add the salmon fillets into the bowl, mix with all the ingredients and let it rest in the marinade for no less than 30 minutes.
- Preheated oven at 400 °F.
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper or foil to avoid stickiness, and to wash easily your baking pan.
- Put the fish on the tray and bake it for 10-15 minutes, or until it has a crispy golden color. In case you want it more dietary - bake only 7 minutes until the salmon has a dark pink, brownie color.
- Garnish your fish with any herbs you have in your fridge. I like spring onions, so I garnish my fish with it along my creamy and delicious scalloped potatoes.
- Serve the fish immediately with vegetable salad, potatoes, or other side dishes you have prepared.
