Description
This Lemon Rosemary Salmon recipe is a flavorful and healthy dinner option. Tender salmon fillets are seasoned with fresh rosemary, garlic, and lemon, then baked or pan-seared to perfection. Perfect for a quick, nutritious meal with minimal effort!
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium heat if pan-searing.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Pat salmon fillets dry and place them on a lined baking sheet (if baking) or directly on the skillet (if searing).
- Brush the salmon with the rosemary-lemon mixture, coating evenly.
- If baking, cook for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. If pan-searing, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the rosemary-lemon mixture for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
- Use skin-on salmon fillets for a crispier texture if pan-searing.
