Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Salmon

Pungent rosemary is one of my favorite herbs. Incredibly versatile, its pine-like flavor complements everything from meat to vegetables to this Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Salmon. Rosemary can easily tolerate heat from cooking, but use it sparingly. Its strong flavor can quickly take over a dish.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
sea salt
freshy ground black pepper
2 sprigs rosemary, (about 2 Tbls.) strip the needles from the stems and finely chop
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
4 (6-ounce) wild salmon fillets, pin bones removed (substitute cod or halibut)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Place salmon fillets skin side down on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Evenly distribute olive oil on each salmon fillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the fillets. Next, add the rosemary and garlic and lightly press into the salmon.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve and enjoy!
