Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and brush each with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then season with 1 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through and flaky.
Step 3: While salmon bakes, combine 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp chopped capers, 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley, 1 minced small garlic clove, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a bowl; stir well to create the salsa verde.
Step 4: Remove salmon from oven and spoon the lemon-dill salsa verde generously over each fillet. Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or salad.
