Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Season generously with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and finely chopped fresh dill. Drizzle evenly with fresh lemon juice. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. This typically takes 20 to 25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. (20-25 minutes)

04

Step

Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the oven. Cut each fillet into 2 pieces, garnish with extra fresh dill, and serve immediately with lemon wedges. (5 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
If you prefer a crispy skin, bake the salmon skin-side up and broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Leftover baked salmon is delicious cold in salads or sandwiches.
