Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to ensure the salmon does not stick.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if the skin is on. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Generously spread the spicy dill mayo mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, a side salad, or cauliflower rice for a complete South Beach Diet-friendly meal.
