Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a butterflied lamb leg, which means the bone has been removed and the meat is cut thinly to about 1 inch thick.

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, and the zest from the lemon.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or fresh garlic, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the mixture.

Whisk the ingredients together until combined.

Chop 1 bunch of fresh parsley, 4 tablespoons of fresh rosemary, and 3 tablespoons of fresh thyme, then add them to the bowl.

Mix the herbs into the olive oil mixture until well combined.

Place the butterflied lamb leg in a ceramic baking dish.

Pour the herb mixture over the lamb leg, using a spatula to press it onto the meat.

Put the lamb in the preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the lamb; it should reach 135°F (57°C) when done.

If it hasn't reached 135°F, check the temperature every 5 minutes until it does.

Once the lamb reaches 135°F, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
