Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds. Reserve a few slices for garnish, and squeeze the juice from any remaining lemon slices into a small bowl.
In the same bowl, mix the lemon juice with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring all sides are coated. Place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet.
Sprinkle the fresh dill evenly over the salmon fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon with the roasted lemon slices and an optional side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
