Baked Lemon Herb Salmon

Steps

1. 1Heat the oven to 200°C and line a small tray with baking paper. Take the salmon out of the fridge 10 minutes ahead so it cooks evenly.
2. 2Mix the olive oil, garlic, dill, thyme, salt and pepper into a loose herb oil.
3. 3Pat the fillets dry, set them on the tray with a little space between them, and spoon the herb oil over the tops. Tuck lemon slices around and under the fish.
4. 4Bake 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes gently with a fork at the thickest point and reads about 50–52°C for a just-set centre.
5. 5Rest 3 minutes on the tray — the residual heat finishes the middle without drying it.
6. 6Squeeze over a roasted lemon slice and serve with the pan juices spooned back on top.
