  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 12 ounces sockeye salmon fillet

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dill (dried or fresh)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • lemon slices
  • fresh dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the sockeye salmon fillet in a baking dish and pour the marinade over it, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: While the salmon marinates, line a rimmed baking pan or baking dish with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Arrange Salmon for Baking: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish, discarding the excess marinade.
  6. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the fillet thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  7. Rest the Salmon: Take the baking dish out of the oven and let the salmon rest for one minute to allow juices to redistribute.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the baked salmon with lemon slices and fresh dill before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • Adjust baking time based on the thickness of the salmon fillet to avoid overcooking.
  • Use fresh dill if available for a more vibrant flavor; dried dill works well too.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
