Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Spoon butter mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, covering the top surface completely.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until salmon is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature 145°F).
  5. Step 5: Let salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with extra dill and lemon wedges.
