Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 oz salmon fillets skin-side up and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped dill.
Step 2: Squeeze 1/2 lemon over the salmon. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp minced garlic over the fillets. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flaky.
Step 3: While salmon cooks, zest and juice the remaining lemon. Whisk with 1 tbsp olive oil for a bright citrus glaze. Serve drizzled over the salmon.
