  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly over the salmon.
  3. Step 3: Scatter 2 minced garlic cloves over the fillets, then arrange 1 medium lemon and 1 medium orange thin slices on and around the salmon.
  4. Step 4: Place 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary and 4 sprigs of fresh thyme on top of the fillets.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove and serve immediately with roasted vegetables or salad.
