2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Directions

Start by preheating your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or give it a light grease. This makes for easy cleanup—such a lovely little trick!

In a bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, and chopped dill. Pour half of this sweet and tangy marinade over the salmon, letting it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb those lovely flavors.
Now comes the fun part! Cook the salmon on the grill or pop it in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it’s flaky and golden. For an extra punch of flavor, brush the remaining marinade onto the fillets during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serve the salmon warm, and revel in the deliciousness of your cozy creation.

Keep It Fresh

To store any leftovers (if there are any!), simply place the salmon in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge where it should stay good for about 2 days. You can even freeze it! Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, gently reheat in the oven to keep it flaky and tender.

Creative Twists

For a fall twist, add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the marinade for a warm, comforting flavor.
In summer, try swapping out dill for fresh basil or parsley for a bright burst of flavor.
