Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow it to reach the desired temperature, which should take about 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down, leaving space between each for even cooking.
  4. Brush each salmon fillet with the garlic-lemon marinade. Sprinkle fresh dill over each fillet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Once baked, let salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.
