Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Salmon

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, fresh dill, olive oil, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well to create a marinade.

Baking

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets.

Serving

Carefully remove the salmon from the baking sheet and serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh dill and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or quinoa for a complete meal.

FAQ

  • Can I use dried dill instead of fresh?

    Fresh dill is preferred for the best flavor, but if you only have dried dill, use about 1 teaspoon per fillet.
  • Can I grill the salmon instead of baking it?

    Yes, you can grill the salmon. Preheat your grill to medium heat and grill the salmon fillets for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
