Cuisine: Mediterranean
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 to 15 minutes (ovens vary)
Total Time: 17 to 20 minutes
Servings: 3

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh salmon filet
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Recipe Notes

• I like to squeeze my own fresh lemon juice, but you can use bottled lemon juice in a pinch.

• You can add more fresh dill as an optional garnish, if desired.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.

Here's how to make it:

1. Place the salmon filet, skin side down, in a casserole dish or baking pan (I lined mine with aluminum foil for easier cleanup). In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder and onion powder. Stir to blend. Spread the mixture over the salmon. Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste, if desired.
2. Bake the salmon at 400 degrees F for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Salmon is done when it reaches 145 degrees F on a food thermometer.
3. Remove from oven and serve with your favorite vegetables or side dishes.
