Tilapia is a more affordable white fish option.

In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of lemon juice.

If you have a zester, add some shreds of lemon zest.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of fresh rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl.

Pat the salmon fillets dry to remove moisture.

Pour a little more than half of the marinade mixture into a shallow dish and set aside the other half for later.

Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring each one is well coated.

Cover the dish with saran wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a baking tray with a sheet of tin foil.

Place the marinated salmon on the tray.

If you have leftover marinade, pour it over the salmon.

Bake the salmon in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, checking that larger pieces may take up to 12 minutes.

The salmon is ready when it can be easily flaked apart with a fork.

Before serving, drizzle the reserved marinade over the salmon and garnish with sprigs of rosemary.
