Ingredients

1 lb - salmon
1 ½ tablespoons - olive oil
3 cloves - garlic
2 tablespoons - fresh dill
½ tsp - kosher salt
¼ tsp - black pepper
1 - lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the salmon filets, skin side down, to the baking sheet. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, dill, salt and pepper.
Spoon evenly onto salmon filets and spread out with the back of the spoon. Add a lemon slice to the top of each portion.
Place on the middle rack of a preheated oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Serve with sides of your choice.
Note: Use the back of a fork to press down on the lemon slices after baking to release the warm citrus onto the fish for extra bright flavor.
