Growing up, my family always enjoyed fresh fish, especially salmon. We would often go fishing together, and my dad would bring home a fresh catch. My mom's favorite way to prepare salmon was always baked with a simple seasoning of salt and pepper. I decided to put my own spin on this classic recipe by adding a tangy lemon dill sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and dill.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the lemon dill sauce over the salmon fillets, making sure they are fully coated.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. Serve hot with additional lemon slices and dill sprigs for garnish.

Serving Suggestions:

This Baked Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce is perfect for a dinner party or a special family dinner. Serve it with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal. It's also a great dish to make for meal prep as it reheats well and can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
