Start by making the garlic Dijon sauce.

Zest and juice one lemon, catching the seeds with your hand.

Add Dijon mustard to the bowl.

Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the mixture.

Add a pinch of oregano and red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Add sweet paprika and coriander to the bowl.

Whisk the sauce together until well combined.

Prepare a large piece of foil, placing it down first on the baking sheet.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the foil.

Brush a small amount of olive oil on the parchment paper.

Place the salmon fillets on the parchment paper, skin-side down.

Sprinkle kosher salt and black pepper over the salmon.

Pour the garlic Dijon sauce over the salmon, ensuring it's well coated.

Tent the salmon with the foil, crimping the sides to create a dome.

Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness.

If not fully cooked, tent the salmon with foil for a couple more minutes.

Once cooked, check if it flakes easily with a fork.

For garnish, add fresh dill or parsley before serving.
