Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) fresh wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons (15g) fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the salmon, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix minced garlic and fresh dill. Spread the mixture evenly over the fillets.
  • Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Notes

For a variation, you can swap out the dill for other fresh herbs like basil, rosemary, or thyme. To make the recipe dairy-free, replace the olive oil with avocado oil. For added zest, mix lemon zest into the garlic butter sauce before applying it to the salmon.
