Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the fresh dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush or spoon the marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring all the surfaces are coated.
Step 5
Top each fillet with a small dab of butter for extra richness.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Optional: For a slightly crispy top, move the baking sheet to the broiler for 1-2 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with optional lemon slices and extra sprigs of dill if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
