Perfectly Baked Salmon


Some people don't like salmon because it's too fishy- but that is exactly why I love it!  I'm a seafood lover, and salmon is hands down-my favorite fish.  It's quite expensive, but if you can find wild caught fresh salmon it's worth it.  I baked some beautiful reddish pink pieces the other night- it was so easy.  Check out this simple recipe (this one's for you, Supy!)

Ingredients

  • 2 healthy salmon fillets
  • 1 big lemon
  • olive oil
  • handful of fresh or dry dill
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup of mayo

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking pan with tin foil and place fillets on the pan, skin side down.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, and rub in the dill, salt and pepper and lay some lemon slices on top.
  4. Bake in the oven for about 10+ minutes (depending on the size of the fillet), until the salmon turns light pink/white-ish, and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. For the sauce, combine the mayo with the juice of the lemon; mix in some dill, salt and pepper.
  6. Serve salmon with roasted asapragus and the lemon mayo sauce.
