How to Make Baked Salmon with Lemon, Garlic, and Dill - Healthy Mediterranean Recipe

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds flavor.

Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F.

In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients: lemon juice, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, dill, paprika, garlic powder, and white pepper. Whisk for 1 minute or until ingredients combine.

Add a splash of olive oil to the bottom of the casserole dish.

Add the salmon fillets skin side down and cover with the sauce.

Add a few lemon rounds on top of the sauce (around ½ lemon cut into rounds is plenty).

Crack the garlic cloves and scatter them around the dish. Drizzle with a splash of olive oil.

Bake for 20 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven until the salmon is cooked through (check it at the thickest part of the fillet, it should easily break apart with a fork).
