  • 1 lb salmon (whole or cut into portions) skin on or off

  • 1. Position oven rack in center, and preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
    2. Season the salmon on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
    3. Place in a baking dish or cast iron skillet. If using skin on salmon, place it skin side down.
    4. Melt butter ( I do this for 20-30 seconds in the microwave).
    5. Add chopped fresh dill, lemon zest, and garlic to the melted butter and whisk until well combined.
    6. Spoon or brush butter mixture over the fish.
    7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until salmon is opaque, and easily breaks up with a fork.
    8. Serve immediately with fresh lemon slices or wedges.
