1/4 c fresh squeezed lemon juice (divided)
1/2 T sugar
1 T fresh parsley (plus extra for garnish if desired)
1 T fresh thyme (plus extra for garnish if desired)
1 tsp lemon zest (plus extra for garnish if desired)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp minced garlic

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place in baking dish. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp of lemon juice.
In a small bowl wisk together the sugar, remaining lemon juice, garlic, lemon zest, and herbs until sugar dissolves and set aside.
Roast salmon until almost done, about 13 min. Remove from oven and top with the herb mixture and return to oven until fork tender, about 2 more minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and zest if desired.
