Roasted Salmon with Lemon and Dill

This recipe could not be ANY easier - or delicious.

The sauce is quick and delicious and the lemons just pair so well with it all! My 18-month old scarfed it down, my husband loved it and of course my 3 and 5-year olds wouldn’t touch it. No surprise there.

Serve with a side of roasted veggies and you a very quick but very beautiful and gourmet dinner.  What is your favorite way to prepare salmon?   The next time I make it, I definitely want to try it on the grill.  Hope you enjoy and would love to hear your go-to way to prepare salmon in the comments.

Roasted Salmon with Lemon and Dill

Serving Size: Serves 4

1 1/4 pound salmon

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 lemon, sliced

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the olive oil, garlic and dill in a small bowl. Set aside. Place the salmon filet in a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon, then top with lemon slices.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until firm. Turn on the broiler, open the foil and allow the salmon to broil for 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it! Remove, cut into servings and serve immediately.
