Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking dish with parchment paper and lightly brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2: Pat 4 Atlantic salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
Step 4: Spoon the lemon dill butter evenly over each salmon fillet. Place 1 lemon slice on top of each fillet.
Step 5: Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes until flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
