Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F; arrange 4 salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl.
  2. Step 2: Brush the honey-sriracha mixture evenly over salmon, pressing gently to adhere. Bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F internal temperature.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, whisk 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped chives, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl to create the sauce.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from oven, let rest 3 minutes, then drizzle with lemon-dill sauce before serving immediately.
