Amazing Baked Salmon

High heat, short time, and it comes out silky instead of chalky.

⏱ 20 min · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets, 6 oz each, skin on
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon, half sliced half juiced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp chopped dill
• Kosher salt and black pepper

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425F. Take the salmon out of the fridge 15 minutes early so it cooks evenly.
2. Pat the fillets very dry, rub with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Set skin side down on a lined sheet pan with lemon slices tucked around.
4. Bake 10-12 minutes. It is done when the thickest part flakes with gentle pressure but is still deep pink inside.
5. Melt the butter with the garlic, take it off the heat and add the lemon juice and dill. Spoon over the fillets.
