Lemon Dill Salmon
This easy Lemon Dill Salmon is a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner that’s ready in under 30 minutes. Fresh salmon fillets are baked with zesty lemon and fragrant dill for a Whole30 compatible meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon, cut into 4-ounce portions
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the salmon filets, skin side down, to the baking sheet. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, dill, salt and pepper.
- Spoon evenly onto salmon filets and spread out with the back of the spoon. Add a lemon slice to the top of each portion.
- Place on the middle rack of a preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Serve with sides of your choice.
- Note: Use the back of a fork to press down on the lemon slices after baking to release the warm citrus onto the fish for extra bright flavor.
