Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
Step 2: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the salmon, then top each fillet with 1/2 lemon slice (from 1 lemon, thinly sliced), 1/2 tbsp fresh dill (from 2 tbsp total), 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3: Garnish with the remaining 1/2 tbsp fresh dill and serve immediately.
