- 1 medium lemon thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped, or 1 tsp dried
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, or 1 tsp dried

Notes
Storage: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F to preserve texture. Make-Ahead: Prepare the herb marinade up to 24 hours in advance. Salmon can be seasoned and kept covered in the fridge for up to 4 hours before roasting. Substitutions: Use cod or halibut for a different fish. For a dairy-free version, ensure the broth used is vegan. Serving Suggestions: Serve over a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, with a side of steamed asparagus, or atop a fresh arugula salad with a light vinaigrette.
