Lemon Butter Baked Salmon

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and set it on the pan, skin side down, with space between the fillets. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir the melted butter with the garlic, lemon juice and zest. Spoon it over the salmon and lay a lemon slice on each fillet.
  4. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. Thinner fillets finish sooner.
  5. Spoon the buttery pan juices over the top and sprinkle with dill.
  6. Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
