Herb-Infused Baked Salmon

Dive into this succulent baked salmon, kissed with fragrant herbs and a hint of citrus. Every bite is a journey to the cool, crisp waters of the North Atlantic, where the best salmon is caught. The fish is marinated in a mixture of fresh dill, garlic, and lemon juice, then baked to perfection, creating an irresistibly flaky and flavorful main course that is as nutritious as it is delicious.

Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Dill
2 tablespoons, freshly chopped
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Lemon
1, half juiced and half sliced
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salmon fillets
4 (6-ounce) fillets

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets. Use your hands to gently rub the oil into the fillets, ensuring they are well coated on both sides.
  4. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon evenly over the salmon fillets.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the salmon.
  6. Arrange the lemon slices atop the salmon fillets, adding an extra layer of citrus flavor.
  7. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fillets, ensuring a moist and flavorful dish.
  9. Serve the baked salmon hot, alongside your favorite sides such as a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or a creamy potato mash. Enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of paprika before baking. If you prefer your salmon skin crispy, place the fillets skin-side up when baking.
