Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, juice of half the lemon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the olive oil mixture generously over each salmon fillet.
Slice the remaining half of the lemon into thin rounds and place them on top of the salmon fillets.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill evenly over the fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve each fillet with additional fresh dill and a wedge of lemon, if desired.
