16 May Fit2Go Recipe: Lemon Dill Salmon
WHAT IT IS:
Lemon dill salmon is an entree meant to be served with a side of your choice! I recommend broccolini which I have a separate recipe for! Lemon dill salmon is pretty quick and simple to make It only requires a few ingredients and it is is high in protein!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 1 lb salmon divided into two 0.5lb halves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 T fresh chopped dill or you can use 1 T dried dill weed
- 1 lemon
- 1 clove fresh chopped garlic or 1 T garlic
- 1 T Salted butter, I recommend Kerry Gold – divided into two 1/2 Tbsp servings
- Hand held grater for lemon zest (https://amzn.to/3c9lCUF)
- For best flavor- I highly recommend using a cast iron skillet for this and almost everything you cook! But this is optional (https://amzn.to/3bdPD4t)
- Food Scale for accurate measurements (https://amzn.to/3fmsy2B)
- These are my baking sheets. Rachel Ray kitchenware is my favorite! (https://amzn.to/3cdB81Q)
- Meat thermometer (https://amzn.to/2y7BDeS)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- I recommend lining baking sheet with foil
- Place salmon fillets on baking sheet
- Alternatively you can cook them in a cast iron skillet in the oven. Recommendations for purchasing the baking sheets and cast iron skillet are above.
- Rub each salmon fillet with half of the 1 T of chopped garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Divide dill evenly and sprinkle on to salmon fillets
- Put 1/2 T on top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until 145 degrees in the center (use meat thermometer)
