Lemon Dill Salmon

Course Main Course
Cuisine American
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1-2 pound salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 4-5 stems fresh dill

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy clean up!
  • Rinse the salmon fillet and pat dry with paper towels. Lay on the lined baking sheet skin side down. Drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil (about a tablespoon), spreading over the salmon with your hand or a spatula to evenly coat the fillet.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange lemon slices over fish fillet. Break apart dill stems and lay over fish.
  • Bake 13-18 minutes until fish becomes opaque looking and is just starting to flake. If you gently probe the thickest part of the fillet with a knife the interior should look just slightly translucent. If it is dark pink/red and translucent it is not quite done, alternatively if it is completely opaque it may be slightly over cooked.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
