1 Set the oven to broil and position a rack in the upper third. Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

2 Spread the lemon slices across the lined baking sheet in one even layer, then set the salmon over them with the skin facing down.

3 Massage the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the salmon. Season it with ½ teaspoon salt and the ground pepper, then leave it to marinate for 10 minutes.

4 Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, stopping when the flesh separates easily into flakes when tested with a fork.

5 While the fish cooks, add the parsley, dill, shallots, lemon juice, olives, chopped anchovy, remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt to a blender. Begin blending on low, gradually raise the speed to high, and process for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth, using a tamper if necessary to keep everything moving.

6 Transfer the cooked salmon to a large serving platter and spoon the green herb sauce over the top before serving.
