1.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2.

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

3.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the garlic-dill mixture evenly over each fillet.

4.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

5.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh dill and lemon wedges, if desired.

Notes

✻

1.

For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes before baking.

2.

If you prefer a crispy skin, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.

3.

Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

4.

Salmon is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
