Equipment

Sheet Pan

Ingredients

2.5 Pounds Salmon Fillet (skinless)
2 Lemons sliced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil extra virgin
2 Tablespoons Dill Fresh 1 Tablespoon dry
1 Tablespoons Salt
1 Teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

Mix together minced dill, olive oil, salt and pepper to create a thin paste.
Slice lemons into thin slices and place half of the slices onto a lined sheet pan.
Lay the salmon fillet on the lemon slices. Pat the top of the salmon dry with a paper towel.
Then, rub the dill pasted evenly all over the salmon fillet.
Place the remaining lemon slices along the top of the fish.
Bake for 20 minutes at 375°.

Notes

Salmon needs to reach 145° at the center. Ideally the outside of the fish will be opaque and pinky while the center remains a brighter pink color. The fish should flake apart easily with a fork and be moist.
Salmon with lemon and dill is a great dinner dish, but it can also be served cold. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and make a great addition to weekday salad.
