Salmon baked with dill, lemon juice, and butter makes for an easy, fast, and delicious dinner. Bake lemon dill salmon at 375F ~ 13-16 minutes or until salmon is moist and flaky.

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets (~ 2 1/2 lbs) wild caught salmon, skin on
  • 1 ½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 tabs (~ 1 1/2 Tbsp) butter, each tab = 1 tsp
  • 1 lemons, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped, divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Lay salmon (skin side DOWN) in a lightly oiled baking pan or sheet.  
  • Drizzle fish evenly with lemon juice and salt.  
  • Add one pat of butter per piece. Add 2 pieces of lemon per fish.
  • Sprinkle on ⅔ of the chopped dill.  Leave 1/3 of the chopped dill as a garnish.
  • Bake salmon uncovered ~ 13-16 minutes or until fish is flaky.
  • Garnish with fresh dill and add salt to taste.

Notes

  • Salmon cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon and if it's farm raised or wild caught.  Wild caught salmon cooks faster due to a lower fat content.  Farmed salmon has more fat and will need more time in the oven.
