Fresh ingredients are key to the great flavor of this Garlic Dill Seared Salmon.

Fresh herbs are the key to a healthy, tasty cuisine. If you don’t usually buy fresh herbs on a regular basis, I recommend picking up a few the next time you visit the grocery store. Today’s recipe is designed to inspire you to reach for fresh dill! I often cook with dill, whether in a dressing or mixed into a salad, but today I’m sharing my Garlic Dill Roasted Salmon.
ingredients
- Salmon: I prefer to use wild salmon in my cooking, both wild-caught and farmed salmon are great sources of omega-6 fatty acids.
- Olive oil: A heart-healthy oil for coating and marinating the salmon.
- Garlic: Nutty, pungent and aromatic that sweetens when cooked.
- Dill: Light, fresh, slightly sweet taste, very commonly associated with pickles, but delicious in many dishes.
- lemon: The tart citrus flavor using both zest and fresh lemon slices pairs beautifully with seafood and dill.
How to cook roasted salmon with garlic and dill

Start by chopping your fresh dill.

Then put the olive oil in a small bowl.

Then use a micro-slicer to freshly grate your garlic into the oil.

Add your fresh dill.

Finally, grate the lemon and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Stir everything together until fully blended.

Then take your salmon fillets, season them with salt and place them on a prepared baking sheet.

Spread your olive oil mixture evenly over your salmon.

Finally, place your lemon slices on top (I use the same lemon that I peeled). Toss in the oven at 375 and broil until the salmon is flaky, about 15 minutes.

Serve garnished with additional dill or lemon juice and enjoy your garlic and dill roasted salmon!
Frequently asked Questions:
Should I cover my salmon when I bake it in the oven?
nope! I always bake my fish open.
How do you know when the salmon is cooked?
Fish cooks pretty quickly so keep an eye on it. Salmon should cook to an internal temperature of 145C if you have a meat thermometer, but the easiest way to check is to gently press the top with a fork and see if it flakes.
