Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 4
Season both sides of each salmon fillet with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets to keep them moist during cooking.
Step 7
Slice the lemon and arrange a couple of slices over each fillet for added flavor and moisture.
Step 8
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
While the salmon is baking, chop the fresh dill finely.
Step 10
Once the salmon is finished baking, garnish with fresh dill before serving.
Step 11
Serve the salted salmon with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
