Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

~1lb Salmon Fillet
~4 tbsp Butter/margarine
~2 tbsp chopped garlic
~1.5 tbsp chopped dill
~1 tsp crushed sea salt
Ground peppercorn medley
1 lemon
EVOO

Steps:

  • Start by chopping the dill, I LOVE dill and can use it in almost everything so use according to your taste. Also, a little fresh rosemary tastes good with the dill, or basil. Pre-heat oven to 350 Combine butter, 1/2 garlic, and a few pinches of salt and microwave until melted; I also add a little dill to the mix. Slice Lemon into ~8 circular slices (about 5mm thick) Line pan with Foil and use nonstick spray. Place a few slices of lemon on the foil; I used 4 and my fillet was half of a long fillet, totaled about 8-9". Spoon a few spoonfuls of the butter-mix on top of lemon, try to minimize run-off. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt on top of that. On the bottom of the fillet sprinkle some more fresh dill and then lay the fillet over the lemon slices; I added a small amount of chopped rosemary to the underside as well. To the top of the salmon, spoon more butter trying to coat the fillet entirely (may need more butter). Use the rest of the garlic and rub on top of the fillet, also sprinkle a little more salt over it; I like garlic and probably used >tbsp here. Grind pepper over the fillet, use however much you like. Use remaining dill over the top of the fillet, evenly. Add more lemon slices, the lemon flavor may be strong if you use too much, i used 2 and saved the remainder for decoration and lemon juice on the plates. Use any remaining butter here and spoon it over the filet and lemons. Bake at 350 for ~23-24min dep. on thickness. Can save some butter for serving/dipping if you like.
