Ingredients

4 fillets salmon skin-on or skinless
2 tablespoons butter melted
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
1 lemon sliced for topping
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Equipment

Baking Sheet For even cooking in the oven
Parchment Paper Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy
Sharp Knife For slicing lemon and prepping salmon

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush melted butter over each fillet and season with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Top the salmon with fresh dill and lemon slices for added flavor.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with extra lemon juice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Pair with roasted vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.
Use skin-on salmon for extra moisture retention.
