Ingredients
  

  • 2 lemons sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 1 2½-pound skin-on salmon fillet
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¾ cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • ¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 pitted green olives
  • 1 anchovy fillet finely chopped (about ½ teaspoon)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Set the oven to broil with the rack in the top third position. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Prepare Salmon: Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, on top of the lemon slices.
  • - Rub the salmon with minced garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  • - Broil for 10 to 12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make Green Herb Sauce: While the salmon is broiling, combine ¾ cup parsley, ¼ cup dill, 2 tablespoons shallots, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, green olives, chopped anchovy, the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, and ½ teaspoon salt in a blender.
  • - Process until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to high. Use a tamper if needed to help blend the ingredients.
  • Serve: Place the salmon on a large platter and drizzle with the green herb sauce.
