Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 1 lemon (zested and juiced)

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Baked Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
3. Make the Lemon Dill Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if applicable.
5. Spread the Butter Mixture: Generously spread the lemon dill butter mixture over each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
6. Add Lemon Slices: If desired, place lemon slices on top of the salmon for added flavor and garnish.
7. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
8. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
9. Remove and Let Rest: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve: Carefully transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates, spooning any remaining lemon dill butter from the baking dish over the top.
