SERVINGS. 4 servings

Skin-on salmon is helpful as the skin helps hold the fish together after baking but skinless salmon works fine too.

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets or steaks, preferably skin-on
• Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 thinly sliced lemon, for garnish

Method

1. Prep the salmon: Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and sprinkle a little salt over it. Let it sit at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Make the dill butter: Mix the fresh dill with the butter in a small bowl.
3. Bake the salmon: Spread 1-2 T olive oil on the fish to coat it. Place the salmon skin side down in a roasting pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes undisturbed (depending on how thick your salmon pieces are). Remove the salmon with a spatula. The salmon should be just cooked through when done.
4. Serve: To serve, place a few thin slices of lemon on each plate. Remove the salmon pieces from the oven and place on the lemon slices with a spatula. Top each piece of salmon with about a tablespoon of the dill butter and serve at once.
