Instructions
- Position oven racks in the center and 6 inches from the broiler, then preheat the oven to 375°F; line a sheet pan with foil and brush it with olive oil.
- Zest one lemon and juice both lemons into a small bowl, then whisk in the extra virgin olive oil, chopped garlic, oregano, paprika, and black pepper to create the lemon-garlic sauce.
- Pat the salmon dry, season well with salt, and place it skin-side down on the foil; pour the lemon-garlic sauce over the salmon, spreading it evenly, and arrange lemon rounds on top.
- Fold the loose end of the foil over the salmon, tenting it to create an air pocket, and crimp the foil tightly closed on all sides to encase the fish.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is almost cooked through at its thickest part.
- Carefully remove the pan, open the foil, turn the broiler to high, and broil the salmon for about 3 minutes until the top is lightly browned and cooked through, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle the cooked salmon with chopped parsley and serve immediately with the remaining lemon wedges.
Notes
Bake salmon until almost cooked through at its thickest part, about 15-20 minutes. Watch closely during broiling to prevent overcooking or burning the lemons and garlic.
