Instructions
-1 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -1 Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. -1 Brush the tops of the salmon with unsalted butter. Season with salt and pepper. -1 Add lemon rounds and fresh dill. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, too. -1 Bake for 6-9 minutes, depending on thickness. (Keep an eye on it.)Test the salmon’s doneness by gently sticking a knife into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes—meaning it begins to separate along the white flesh lines on the filet—it’s done, and you should remove it from the heat. -1 Serve with an additional squeeze of lemon juice with your favorite side dish!View original recipe
