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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil to ensure the salmon does not stick.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if the skin is on. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 4
Generously spread the spicy dill mayo mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, a side salad, or cauliflower rice for a complete South Beach Diet-friendly meal.
