We're slowing down in the kitchen and sharing simple, healthy meals that require minimal ingredients. This easy salmon recipe, loved by the whole family, is perfect for busy times. Serve with green beans for a complete meal!
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 4 (6-8 oz) filets of salmon (skin removed) across a baking dish. Pat the salmon dry. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Zest 1/2 lemon over the top and add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Slice a lemon into rounds and scatter them around the salmon. Season with 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and lots of black pepper, or to taste. Lastly, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme leaves over the salmon. Transfer to the oven and bake until the salmon is cooked through, 10-12 minutes depending on the size of your filets, or when it flakes easily with a fork!
