Dried dill is more affordable and has a longer shelf life.

Bring salmon close to room temp (around 10mins out the fridge) and preheat oven to 190C/375F.

In a small mixing bowl combine butter, garlic, chives, parsley, dill, salt and pepper. Place to one side.

Place two large sheets of foil in a cross on a large baking tray (enough to be able to comfortably wrap the salmon).

Place the salmon skin side down in the centre and pat the top with paper towels.

Use your spatula to spread the butter all across the top of the salmon.

Fold in the foil to make a tent for the salmon, ensuring there are no gaps and it's not touching the top of the salmon.

Place in the oven for 15-20mins, or until the thickest part of the salmon is almost cooked through.

Remove from the oven and crumple down the foil around the salmon. Spoon over any melted butter around it, then pop it under the grill and broil until the garlic starts lightly turning brown (5mins or so).

Serve up right away with any leftover butter in the foil, alongside lemon wedges and extra seasoning if needed.
