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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Sprinkle cracked black pepper over the fillets according to your taste preference.

Step 5

Spread the lemon zest over the fillets, ensuring each has a little lemony kick.

Step 6

Roughly chop fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salmon, pressing it gently into the surface.

Step 7

Lay a slice of lemon on each fillet for added moisture and a fresh citrus aroma.

Step 8

Let the seasoned fillets rest for 5 minutes to allow the seasonings to penetrate the fish.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the salted salmon immediately, garnished with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges, if desired.
