Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet lightly brushed with olive oil. Sear both sides of the salmon, remove from heat but leave in pan.
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the olive oil, garlic, dried herbs, and juice of half the lemon.
- Spoon the herb mixture over the entire fillet. Thinly slice the remaining lemon and place slices over the top of the salmon. Top with half the fresh dill.
- Place skillet directly in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon if opaque and flaky. Garnish with fresh dill and serve.
- Optional baking: if you use a very large fillet, you can bake in a sheet pan without searing first. Just double the herb mixture for a larger fish and increase the bake time 10-15 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the fillet.
