– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) – 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed) – 4 garlic cloves, minced – 2 tablespoons olive oil – Salt, to taste – Ground black pepper, to taste – 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley – Lemon slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with olive oil for easy cleanup and non-stick results.

In a bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a bright, savory marinade.

Place the salmon skin-side down, brush with marinade, and bake for 15–18 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Top with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad for a balanced, satisfying meal.
