Salmon with Dill Sauce

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place the salmon on the prepared sheet.

Season the salmon with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over the salmon.

Drizzle a small portion of the olive oil over the fish and rub it evenly over the surface.

Bake the salmon uncovered for 13–15 minutes, taking care not to overcook it.

While the salmon bakes, combine the crushed garlic, chopped dill, juice from the remaining lemon half, and the remaining olive oil in a small bowl.

Season the dill sauce with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper, then mix well.

Transfer the cooked salmon to a platter or individual serving plates.

Spoon the dill sauce over the salmon and serve, with rice if desired.
