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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same bowl, mix the lemon juice with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to form a marinade.

Step 5

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Brush the marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring all sides are coated. Place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet.

Step 7

Sprinkle the fresh dill evenly over the salmon fillets.

Step 8

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the salmon to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the salmon with the roasted lemon slices and an optional side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
