Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 oz. fresh dill
• 7 Tbsp. softened butter, divided
• 1 lemon
• 2 lbs. salmon fillet (or 5-6 oz. fillets)
• 1/4 tsp. sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pre-heat oven to 475 degrees F.

2. 2

   Make compound butter. Zest lemon and chop dill. Mix lemon zest and fresh dill with 6 tablespoons of butter. Form butter into a log shape and refrigerate.

3. 3

   Put the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter onto a rimmed baking sheet and put it into the oven. As soon as it foams (about 1 minute), take it out and place salmon, skin side down on the pan. Season salmon with salt and pepper and bake for about 8-12 minutes, until it flakes easily.

4. 4

   Serve salmon with a slice of compound butter over the top.
