We needed a quick meal for guests, and this fresh salmon recipe with dill was just perfect. This baked salmon recipe is so easy! All you need to do is whip up the sauce, marinate the fish for 15 minutes (if you have the time) and bake to make a light and tasty seafood dinner. The dill adds a freshness and the lime juice and soy sauce bring a lovely seasoning without overwhelming the fillet. Plus you get the health benefits of salmon and the health benefits of fresh dill.
To make this healthy seafood recipe, you will need to gather the following ingredients from your fridge and pantry: salmon, limes or oranges for juicing, olive oil, soy sauce or tamari, maple syrup, fresh or dried dill, garlic, ground turmeric and optional ground saffron.
This moist, juicy baked salmon is a lovely dinner served with your favorite side dishes. We enjoyed ours over rice, but it would also be delicious over quinoa or your favorite grain
