Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place the 2 salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
  2. Step 2: Brush the 2 salmon fillets evenly with 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, then sprinkle with the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, then rest for 5 minutes to let flavors meld and retain moisture.
