Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill optional
- 5 salmon fillets 4-6 ounces each
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine: In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon dried dill. Mix to combine.
- Season Salmon: Put 5 salmon fillets on the parchment-lined sheet pan and pat dry with paper towel. Cover the outside of the fillets with the seasoning mixture.
- Bake: Move the pan to the preheated oven to bake for 16-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145℉ at the thickest part of the fish (use a meat thermometer).
- Serve: Let the salmon rest for a few minutes and then enjoy!
Notes
- Other Cooking Methods: feel free to use this lemon herb salmon seasoning on salmon cooked any way you want! We love using it on perfectly grilled salmon, pan seared salmon, and easy air fryer salmon.
- Leftovers: leftover cooked salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Seasoning Storage: the seasoning without the lemon zest can be stored in the pantry for up to 3 months. Add the fresh lemon zest right before adding to the salmon.
