Ingredients
- 1 salmon filet 3 pounds
- 6 sprigs fresh dill
- 2 lemons thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove the salmon from the fridge and let rest at room temperature while preparing the foil and the garlic butter.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a large piece of foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In the middle of the foil lay 3 sprigs of dill and 1 lemon thinly sliced.
- Lay the salmon, skin side down, on top of the dill and lemons. Roll up the sides of the foil so the salmon is in a pouch.
- In a small saucepan melt butter and garlic over low heat and pour over the salmon. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Add remaining dill and lemon slices over the top of the salmon.
- Gently tent the salmon with foil and bake for about 15 minutes or until almost fully cooked.
- Remove from oven and remove the top piece of foil.
- Place the baking rack about 6 inches from the top. Add the salmon back to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes or just until the top is lightly browned.
