Lemon Dill Salmon Recipe
Description
The Lemon Dill Salmon Recipe highlights the freshness of salmon combined with lemon and dill for a mild, flavorful dish. The fish—either a whole fillet or individual portions—is seasoned with fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Baking the salmon at 350°F until it flakes easily ensures a tender texture that's moist and delicate.
The lemon imparts a bright acidity that balances the richness of the salmon, while dill adds a subtle herbal note. The simplicity of the seasoning lets the quality of the fish shine.
This salmon pairs well with light side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a simple salad. It fits well into a range of meals from casual lunches to more refined dinners.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces salmon , either a whole fillet or 4 individual fillets
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons dill coarsely chopped, fresh
- sea salt fine
- black pepper fine
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat 9x13 inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange the 24 ounces salmon (cut into smaller potions or as a large filet) in a single layer.
- Cover the salmon with the 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Season the salmon with the fine sea salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons fresh dill.
- If one whole filet, cook for 15 minutes. If individual fillets, cook for 8-10 minutes per inch of thickness. Salmon can be eaten medium-well done. If you have a particularly thick piece, the cooking time can be increased. Salmon should flake easily with a fork.
