Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6 oz each) Salmon Fillets
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Butter, cut into small pieces
  • Lemon Slices for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, half of the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the lemon dill mixture over the top of each fillet, making sure they are evenly coated.
  • Place a few small pieces of butter on top of each fillet and lay a lemon slice on each one.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F. The top should have a beautiful golden glaze.
  • Sprinkle the remaining fresh dill over the fillets and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
