Lemon Dill Baked Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lb Salmon Fillet (fresh sockeye, king, or any salmon fillet, skin on)
• 1 large Lemon (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin)
• 1 tsp Salt (kosher or sea salt)
• 0.5 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tsp Seafood Seasoning (optional, adds extra flavor)
• 0.25 cup White Wine or Fish Stock or Water (adds moisture during baking)

Instructions

1. Prepare Lemon and Herb Bed

   Thinly slice the lemon and set aside. Chop the fresh dill. Spread the chopped dill on the bottom of the baking dish and arrange the lemon slices on top of the dill.

   Time: PT5M

2. Season the Salmon

   Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over both sides, then season with salt, black pepper, and optional seafood seasoning. If the fillet is too large for the dish, cut it in half to fit.

   Time: PT3M

3. Arrange Salmon and Add Liquid

   Place the seasoned salmon on top of the lemon‑and‑dill bed. Pour the wine, stock, or water around the fish (do not pour directly over the top). Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.

   Time: PT2M

4. Bake the Salmon

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the covered salmon for about 10 minutes, then check for doneness. If the fillet is thick, continue baking 2‑5 more minutes until the center flakes easily and reaches 145°F (63°C).

   Time: PT12M

   Temperature: 375°F

5. Rest and Garnish

   Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining fresh dill over the top before serving.

   Time: PT5M
