Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels, then brush each with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Step 3: Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
