Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a baking sheet or a baking dish with the cooking spray oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Evenly sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the salmon fillets. Ensure each fillet gets an even coating for maximum flavor.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one half of the lemon over the salmon fillets. Reserve the other half for garnish or additional squeezing after baking.
Sprinkle the chopped dill evenly over the seasoned salmon fillets. This will infuse the fish with a fresh and aromatic flavor.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven. Optionally, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the fillets for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon slices, if desired.
Serve the baked salmon hot alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the fresh and zesty flavors of this simple yet elegant dish!
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh salmon fillets and fresh dill.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon. It should be flaky but still moist.
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the salmon with lemon juice and dill for about 30 minutes before baking.
Baked salmon with lemon dill sauce is a delicious and nutritious option for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of tender salmon with fresh lemon and dill creates a dish that is sure to impress. Follow these tips and the recipe to enjoy a perfectly baked salmon every time.
