Spring's Perfect Dish: Roasted Salmon with Fresh Herbs

As spring emerges, home cooks seek light, vibrant meals that celebrate the season's fresh ingredients. Roasted salmon offers an ideal solution—a nutritious, elegant dish that transforms simple ingredients into a memorable dining experience.

To create the perfect roasted salmon, start with high-quality, fresh salmon fillets. Wild-caught varieties provide superior flavor and nutritional benefits, packed with omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein.

Essential Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
Fresh dill and parsley
Lemon zest
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and cracked pepper

Simple Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat salmon fillets dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chopped fresh herbs across the top. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily.

Nutritionists recommend consuming fish like salmon twice weekly for optimal health benefits. This recipe provides a delicious way to meet those dietary recommendations while enjoying a meal that feels both sophisticated and approachable.

Serve your roasted salmon with spring vegetables like asparagus or a light mixed green salad. The result is a meal that captures the essence of the season—fresh, vibrant, and nourishing.
