Easy 5 Ingredient Baked Salmon
Description
Begin by preheating the oven and lining a baking sheet with foil. Place the deboned salmon fillet on the foil, then mix melted butter with lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh dill to form a sauce. Pour this mixture evenly over the salmon, then seal the foil tightly to create a packet that will hold in steam and flavors during baking.
Bake at 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, ensuring moistness and softness without drying out. The combination of butter and lemon enhances the fish’s natural flavor, while garlic and dill provide aromatic, herbal notes.
This recipe suits a straightforward preparation that yields a pleasing balance of richness and freshness ideal for main courses accompanied by vegetables or grains.
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds salmon filet deboned
- 1/2 cup butter melted, salted
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons dill minced fresh
