Ingredients

Baked Salmon

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dill.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if they have skin. Season the fillets with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, coating them well.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
