Ingredients
  

  • 4 6 oz salmon fillets, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce

  • Slide the salmon into the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Then, for a crispy finish, broil for an extra 2 to 3 minutes. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  • While the salmon is in the oven, whip up the chimichurri sauce by blending all the ingredients until they're nicely chopped.

  • Once the salmon is done, let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, top each fillet with about 2 tablespoons of the fresh chimichurri sauce. Serve up this zesty dish and watch it disappear!
