Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, fresh dill, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the Dijon and dill mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
