Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp softened butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp chopped dill, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until skin is crispy and fish is just cooked through. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Spread the garlic butter mixture over the salmon. Bake for 10-12 minutes until butter is golden and fragrant. Serve immediately, garnished with additional dill and lemon wedges.
