Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Zest from 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Fresh dill sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the garlic-dill marinade generously over each fillet, ensuring even coverage.

        Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

          Serve: Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh dill sprigs for an extra pop of flavor and color.

            Enjoy: Pair your baked salmon with sides like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal!
