- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, and black pepper.
- Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Brush the foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Place the salmon in the middle of the foil, skin side down.
- Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon.
- Fold the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet. Seal the edges tightly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Thicker salmon fillets may need more time.
- Carefully open the foil packet to avoid steam.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
