This dish brings back the comforting simplicity of family Sunday dinners—light, wholesome, and filled with love. The delicate flavor of salmon pairs beautifully with zesty lemon and fresh dill, creating a dish that’s as nourishing as it is memorable.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 lemons (1 sliced, 1 juiced)

  • 3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Parchment paper or foil (for baking)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.

  • Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon.

  • Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh dill.

  • Lay lemon slices on top of each fillet.

  • Fold parchment or foil into packets and seal gently.

  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  • Serve warm with a side of vegetables or rice.

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Salmon: Look for firm, bright pink fillets with a mild scent for the best flavor and texture.

  • Don’t Overcook: Salmon continues to cook slightly after baking—remove it when it’s just opaque in the center and flakes easily.

  • Add a Crust: Sprinkle breadcrumbs or crushed almonds mixed with a bit of olive oil for a golden, crunchy topping.

  • Try Foil Packs: Baking in foil keeps the salmon moist and makes cleanup easy—great for busy nights!

  • Flavor Boost: A touch of Dijon mustard mixed with lemon juice adds a gentle kick under the herbs.
