Ingredients

Salmon fillets
4 (6-ounce each)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Fresh dill
3 tablespoons, chopped
Lemon
1, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
  5. Season the fillets generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  6. Layer lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet for a burst of citrus flavor.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill evenly over the salmon, allowing the herbaceous notes to infuse into the fish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. For an extra touch, you can broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking to achieve a lightly charred top.
  10. Serve the baked salmon hot, garnished with additional lemon slices and fresh dill if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For added flavor, marinate the salmon in olive oil, lemon juice, and dill for 30 minutes before baking.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
  • 💡 Try substituting the dill with fresh parsley or thyme for a different flavor profile.
