Step 1

Allow salmon to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat gently with a paper towel.

Step 2

In the meantime, prep seasonings.For Garlic butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth and lemon juice. Cook for 3-5 more minutes to reduce the sauce. Stir in honey. Dill: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.Cajun seasoning: have ingredients ready. When ready to bake, spread olive oil over filet with a brush and top with desired amount of cajun seasoning.

Step 3

Place salmon, skin side down, on a large baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and add desired type of seasoning or sauce.

Step 4

Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes depending on thickness of salmon. Check for doneness with a thermometer, (aim for no more than 140 degrees F as the salmon will continue to cook a little after removing it from the oven) or use a fork to gently pull back on a section in the thickest part of the filet. The salmon should flake away easily and look opaque.

Step 5

Tear off a large piece of tinfoil (enough to fold over the filet and seal). Place salmon, skin side down on lightly greased tinfoil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Lift up all four sides of the tinfoil, creating a pocket and cover/top salmon with desired seasonings.

Step 7

Wrap salmon tightly in tinfoil by folding the sides of the tinfoil creating a tight seal.

Step 8

Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes depending on thickness of salmon. Check for doneness with a thermometer, (aim for no more than 140 degrees F as the salmon will continue to cook a little after removing it from the oven) or use a fork to gently pull back on a section in the thickest part of the filet. The salmon should flake away easily and look opaque.
