01
Step 1
Move your oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the broiler, then go ahead and preheat the broiler. Line a baking pan with foil to make cleanup easier.
02
Step 2
In a medium bowl, pour in some oil. Rinse your salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the oil, making sure both sides get coated, then place them skin-side down on the foil-lined pan.

Step 3
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the salmon. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with chopped parsley, oregano, basil, and minced garlic. Don’t forget to season with half of the kosher salt.

Step 4
Pop the pan under the broiler and cook the salmon for about 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges turn golden and the center is a light pink.

Step 5
Once it’s cooked, take the salmon out of the oven and plate it right away. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the salt. Serve with lemon slices on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is packed with bold flavors from fresh garlic and fragrant herbs. It’s quick to prepare and cooks fast under the broiler, making it perfect for busy weeknights. Plus, salmon is rich in healthy omega-3 fats, which makes this both a tasty and nutritious meal.
How to serve
Serve alongside a light salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Roasted potatoes or quinoa also pair well, adding texture and substance. A wedge of lemon on the side can brighten the flavors just before eating.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or enjoy cold in salads. Avoid microwaving to keep the salmon from drying out.
