4 (6 oz pieces) salmon (skinless)

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

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.
