A flavorful salmon dish with bright lemon, garlic, and fresh dill, perfect for impressing guests or upgrading your weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fillets salmon (6–7 oz each, wild-caught recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (sea salt or kosher)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly cracked preferred)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped (or substitute with dried dill)
  • Vegetable sides: asparagus or bell peppers
  • Lemon slices or halved cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
  2. Pat salmon dry with paper towels.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down if present, then brush the oil mixture over the top.
  5. Add asparagus or sliced bell peppers around the fillets, tossing with extra oil and a pinch of salt.
  6. Top each fillet with lemon slices or tomatoes, and sprinkle with chopped dill.
  7. Roast in the oven for 10–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily and reaches 125–145°F internal temperature.
  8. Let rest 3–5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If using skin-on salmon, roast skin-side down for a crisp texture. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours; store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
