Ingredients
- 1 cup loosely packed parsley leaves
- 2 Tablespoons fresh dill
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons drained capers
- 1 lemon zested then sliced into wedges
- 2 garlic cloves
- salt and pepper
- pinch red chili pepper flakes
- extra virgin olive oil
- 4, 6 oz salmon filets
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees then line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Add parsley leaves, dill, capers, lemon zest, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes to the center of a large cutting board. Chop until the ingredients are finely minced then squeeze a bit of lemon juice into the mixture to moisten.
- Rub salmon filets with extra virgin olive oil then season generously with salt and pepper. Press the top and sides of each filet into the herb mixture to create an even crust then place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes (do not overbake!) then transfer salmon filets to plates and squeeze a bit more fresh lemon juice on top right before serving.
