Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat salmon fillets dry, then season both sides with 3/4 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp fresh dill, 1 lemon zested and juiced, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 2 tbsp olive oil to create a paste.
  3. Step 3: Rub the paste evenly over the flesh side of the salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 18-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  5. Step 5: Check doneness by gently flaking the thickest part with a fork—it should feel firm yet moist. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
