Take note
Be careful not to overcook the salmon, or else it will lose its juiciness and become dry. Also, watch out for any bones in the salmon before cooking.

1

Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the salmon. This will ensure that the salmon bakes evenly and develops a delicious crust.

2

Prepare the salmon

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper to taste. This will provide a solid foundation for the flavors to come.

3

Lemon and dill marinade

In a small bowl, combine the juice of 2 lemons, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of chopped dill, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix everything together until it forms a fragrant and zesty marinade.

4

Coat the salmon

Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure to coat them evenly. Let the salmon soak up the flavors for about 15 minutes. Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait!

5

Bake it to perfection

Place the baking sheet with the salmon in the preheated oven and let it bake for around 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.

6

Garnish and serve

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. To add an extra touch of jazz, garnish the salmon with freshly chopped dill and a squeeze of lemon juice. Now, it's ready to be served!
