- Step 3: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: Brush the salmon fillets evenly with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Notes
- Leftover salmon should be refrigerated promptly and is best enjoyed within 2 days.
- For moist reheating, wrap the salmon loosely in foil with a splash of water or lemon juice and warm it in a low oven or microwave.
- Serve these flavorful salmon fillets with a side of roasted asparagus and a lemon wedge for extra brightness.
- For a richer flavor, let the salmon marinate in the olive oil mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
