Ingredients Needed:

• 2 lemons
• 4 sprigs fresh dill (or parsley, chives, or thyme)

How To Make Baked Salmon Recipe?

1. Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 200°C.
2. Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon dry, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Let it rest for 10–30 minutes.
3. Prepare Lemon & Parchment: Slice one lemon, and juice the other. Cut 4 sheets of parchment (or foil) into hearts and fold in half.
4. Assemble Packets: Place lemon slices on one side of each parchment, top with salmon, squeeze lemon juice over it and add dill. Fold and seal the packets.
5. Bake: Bake for 10–15 minutes until salmon is cooked through. Rest for 3–10 minutes if you want it well done.
6. Serve: Open the packets and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Salmon: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Frozen salmon can work, but fresh is ideal.
• Don’t Overcook the Salmon: Bake the salmon until it’s just cooked through. Overcooking can make it dry and tough.
• Seal the Parchment Well: Make sure to seal the parchment tightly to trap steam inside, which keeps the salmon moist.
• Add Extra Herbs or Garlic: Feel free to add extra herbs like thyme or a few slices of garlic for extra flavor.
• Rest After Baking: Let the salmon rest in the parchment for a few minutes after baking. This helps lock in the moisture and keeps it tender.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the salmon cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: Wrap the salmon tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Heat the salmon in a covered pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway.
