As a kid I use to hate all types of fish. I’m still not a huge fan of it but I do like oven baked salmon. Here’s how I do it:

Ingredients:

• salmon fillet
• olive oil
• lemon juice
• salt and pepper
• dill

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 450°

2. Lightly coat the bottom of the baking dish in olive oil, I like to use my Misto

3. Place the salmon in the dish, scale side down

4. Squirt a couple of lemon wedges or pour a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice over the salmon

5. Salt and pepper the salmon to taste

6. Put a heavy coating of dill on the salmon

7. Place in oven and bake for 9-15 minutes. You always want to make sure it’s cooked all the way, should flake easily, but at around 9 minutes it’s done and tastes more like fish but at around 13-15 minutes it’s more of a steak consistency for me which I prefer.

8. Enjoy!

– If using a convection oven, it will cook a little faster.

– If using a regular oven, the salmon should be baked on the top rack! Otherwise, it will take a lot longer to bake.
