Easy
There is a quiet beauty in salmon roasted with fresh herbs. This recipe delivers a moist, tender flake every time, proving that honest cooking is the best path to feeling your absolute best.
This roasted salmon uses fresh dill, parsley, and lemon to highlight the fish's natural richness. It is a high-protein, heart-healthy meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Don't peel your lemon slices. Place thin rounds of lemon directly under the salmon fillets before roasting; it keeps the underside moist and infuses the fish with a brighter citrus aroma.

The flesh should be opaque and flake easily when pressed gently with a fork.
You can marinate the salmon in the herb mixture for up to 30 minutes before roasting, but avoid longer marination as the lemon juice will begin to "cook" the fish.
