2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste

Prep the salmon: Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic, and lemon zest.
Add lemon slices on top for extra brightness.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Finish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
