Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

4 cloves garlic, minced

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

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon slices for garnish

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

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

      Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish. Pour the garlic-dill mixture over the fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

        Bake the salmon: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

          Serve: Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and dill sprigs. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
