Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the mixture; save the other half for garnish.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Slice the reserved lemon half into thin rounds and place a slice on top of each salmon fillet.
Chop fresh dill and sprinkle evenly over the salmon.
Cut butter into small pieces and place a couple of pieces on top of each salmon fillet for extra richness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon fillets with a wedge of lemon on the side.
