Directions

25 min.
1. Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), an optimal temperature to ensure your salmon is cooked thoroughly without getting too dry.

2. Step

While the oven preheats, arrange your fresh salmon fillets in a baking dish and drizzle them with olive oil. This not only adds flavor but helps to keep the salmon moist.

3. Step

Sprinkle the fillets with salt and black pepper, remembering that a little can go a long way.

4. Step

Zest the lemon and sprinkle it liberally over the fillets. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze one half over the salmon. It’s a good idea to save a little lemon juice to drizzle over the cooked fish for an extra punch of acidity.

5. Step

Lastly, sprinkle the chopped dill over the salmon. Don't be modest; the dill adds a lovely muted freshness that cuts through the richness of the salmon.

6. Step

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The baking time might vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.

7. Step

Serve the baked salmon garnished with fresh lemon slices from the other half of the lemon. This is a delightful touch that adds flavor and presentation flair.
