Salmon with Lemon and Dill

Salmon with Lemon and Dill is a quick and easy recipe that you can prepare even on busy weeknights. Lemon and dill complement the salmon so well. This salmon dish is so simple, light and delicious.

Whenever our neighbor, who is also a good friend of ours, make this dish she would share it with us. She makes it at least once a month on her day off and she’ll bring over 2 big fillets of salmon. Sometimes, instead of making it ourselves we just wait for her to make it with her magic touch. It is so decadent when she makes it. By the way, this is her recipe. So nice of her to share.

For easy clean-up I baked salmon in foil. If there’s a leftover I use the same foil to store it. So one less plate to wash.

You can use a baking dish if you like. If using foil, make sure it is long enough to wrap the salmon. Before putting salmon, spray or brush foil with olive oil. Anytime I buy fish or meat I always wash it before cooking and pat dry with paper towel. Whenever I can get a hold of wild Alaskan salmon I get that which I prefer over farm raised. Costco usually carry both but at times they only have farm raised.

Baked Salmon with Lemon and Dill Ingredients

So anyway, all you need to do is throw in all the ingredients in the foil, seal and bake and you’re done. Wait for about 20 to 25 minutes and you are ready to eat this delicious salmon smothered with fresh dill and lemon. Baking time will vary depending on how thick the salmon. I can have this dish all the time. It is so refreshing.

If you have leftover dill just wrap it in paper towel and put it back in plastic. You can store it for a week and half in the fridge.
