1 spray cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds wild pink salmon fillets, four 6-oz pieces about 1-inch-thick each
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated (plus extra for garnish, if desired)
4 Tbsp lemon juice, divided
1 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish, if desired)
1 Tbsp thyme, chopped (plus extra for garnish, if desired)
1 tsp oregano, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat small shallow baking dish with nonstick spray.
Season both sides of salmon with salt and black pepper. Place salmon in prepared baking dish and drizzle with 2 tbsp lemon juice. Roast salmon until almost cooked through, about 13 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk 1 tsp lemon zest, sugar, 1 tbsp parsley, 1 tbsp thyme, oregano, garlic, and remaining 2 tbsp lemon juice until sugar dissolves.
Top salmon with lemon-herb mixture. Continue to roast until salmon flakes with fork, about 2 minutes more. Garnish with grated lemon zest and more chopped herbs (if using).
