Method:
Preheat your oven to 200°C.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade all over the lamb chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the lamb chops marinate for at least 15-30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for extended flavor).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the lamb chops for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 60°C for medium-rare.
Let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
For extra tenderness, marinate the lamb chops overnight in the fridge. Serve the lamb chops with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. For medium doneness, bake for 10-12 minutes, checking the internal temperature for 65°C. Enjoy these flavorful and juicy baked lamb chops—perfect for a special dinner or any night you’re craving something elegant!
