½ cup olive oil
5 cloves cloves garlic minced or pressed through a garlic press
2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice or more to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste aluminum foil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon sliced

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place salmon, skin-side down, in the middle of the foil. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
