Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 whole Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Rub each salmon fillet with a few drops of olive oil. Sprinkle the coarse sea salt evenly over the fillets to help draw out moisture and enhance flavor.
Sprinkle cracked black pepper over the fillets according to your taste preference.
Spread the lemon zest over the fillets, ensuring each has a little lemony kick.
Roughly chop fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salmon, pressing it gently into the surface.
Lay a slice of lemon on each fillet for added moisture and a fresh citrus aroma.
Let the seasoned fillets rest for 5 minutes to allow the seasonings to penetrate the fish.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the salted salmon immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges, if desired.
