Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub 1 tbsp olive oil over both sides. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp dried dill, and 1/2 tsp salt evenly over the top.
  2. Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in a parchment-lined baking dish. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While salmon bakes, melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp fresh dill, stirring until fragrant and butter is slightly foamy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from oven, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice and coconut aminos. Pour the warm lemon-dill butter sauce evenly over the fillets, ensuring each piece is coated. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
