Deliciously baked salmon fillets marinated with fresh citrus, garlic, and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Salmon Fillets (skin-on for enhanced flavor and texture)
- 1 each Citrus (Lemon/Lime) (or swap in an orange for a sweeter twist)
- 3 cloves Garlic (fresh cloves preferred)
- 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (e.g., parsley, dill) (opt for fresh over dried)
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil (or melted butter can be substituted)

Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and the juice and zest of your citrus.
