Ingredients
- 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon filets (see note 1)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lemons thinly sliced, plus more for serving
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), plus more, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Arrange lemon slices in an even layer in the middle of the pan. Pat salmon dry, and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set filets on top of lemon slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, garlic, oregano, thyme, and dill. Pour over salmon filets, coating tops and sides.
- Bake until the salmon opaque, flaky, and reached 145 degrees on a digital thermometer, about 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
- Salmon: A large filet is around 1 to 2 pounds, which can easily be cut into 4 individual portions. Thicker filets may require more baking time.
- Yield: This recipe makes 4 generous servings.
- Storage: Store leftover cooked salmon covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It's a great recipe for meal prep along with cooked quinoa or rice and roasted broccoli. Reheat in oven or microwave with a splash of water.
