Optionally, add your favorite seafood seasoning.

Lay the salmon on top of the bed of lemon and dill.

Pour in some liquid (stock, wine, or water) into the dish.

Cover the dish with foil.

Slide the dish into the oven and bake until the salmon is just cooked in the middle, checking around 10 minutes.

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.

Scatter more fresh herbs on top before serving.
