  • Mix the zest of 1 lemon, 1 Tbsp. finely chopped thyme, and 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over the salmon fillets.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  • Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over, and enjoy!
