Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1 lb salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Zest 1 medium lemon and finely chop 2 tbsp fresh dill, mixing together with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Spread the lemon-dill mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
