Easy & Healthy Baked Lemon-Dill Salmon - So Delicious!

OMG!  Who can resist this baked salmon with fresh dill and fresh lemon slices on top?  As the salmon bakes, the lemon juice gets released from the lemon slices and flavors the salmon – amazing!

Another ingredient here that flavors the salmon in addition to lemon and dill is garlic.  Before we bake the salmon, we rub it with minced garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Lemon, garlic and dill – this is the perfect flavoring combo to go with the fish!

You can use any kind of fish for this recipe, not just salmon.  You just can’t go wrong with these ingredients – any fish will be yummy when it’s baked with this fresh delicious stuff!

Dill is an underutilized spice in the US, even though it tastes so delicious!  I’m originally from Russia where dill is a very popular herb, and I use it quite often.  If you have leftover dill after making this lemon-dill salmon, you can use it up by making my cucumber lemon-dill salad – yum!
