Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 6 oz salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 2: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, checking at the 12-minute mark.
Step 3: While salmon bakes, squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon into a small bowl and whisk with 1 tbsp fresh dill until well combined. Drizzle the sauce over the cooked salmon immediately before serving.
