Lemon-Thyme Baked Salmon

This recipe was fabulous.  I have a lot of lemon thyme growing in my herb garden, so I looked around for a good recipe that would utilize it and found this one online by Baker by Nature.  I adjusted the quantities a bit and kind of eyeballed amounts. Whatever I did, it worked.   It was fast, easy, and delicious.  This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Lemon-Thyme Baked Salmon

Recipe slightly adapted from Baker by Nature webpage

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 (~6 oz) salmon fillets

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (I probably used more)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

lemon wedges, for serving

Directions:

Whisk together the lemon zest, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, honey, and lemon juice.  Spoon sauce over the salmon fillets, generously coating the fish.   Place fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil.  Bake at 400º for 13-15 minutes until salmon is done.  Serve with lemon wedges.
