Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 275°F (low heat). Pat 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each, skin-on) dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then top with 1 lemon thinly sliced, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the salmon and herbs, gently pressing to adhere. Bake uncovered at 275°F for 20 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Carefully remove salmon from the pan using a spatula, transferring to plates while retaining the lemon and herb topping. Let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
