- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Sprinkle the chopped dill, salt, and black pepper generously over the fillets.
Place a lemon slice on top of each salmon fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete, high-protein meal.
