This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

Salmon with Lemon and Dill

salmon fillets

butter, melted

lemon juice

dill weed

garlic powder

sea salt

black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.


Place salmon in the baking dish. Mix the butter and lemon juice in a small bowl, and drizzle over the salmon. Season with dill, garlic powder, sea salt, and pepper.


Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork.


Do add the dill to the lemon butter sauce and use fresh garlic if you have it.  I put thin slices of lemon on the salmon for a nice look and some extra lemon flavor.  It works well to wrap it all in foil to keep in all the sauce.  20 minutes was enough cooking time.  Serve with rice to soak up the tasty sauce.  

I needed a quick and easy recipe and this fit the bill.  Used a few tablespoons of olive oil instead of butter, a few teaspoons of lime instead of lemon juice, and fresh pressed garlic instead of the powder.  Healthy and delicious.

Very good recipe.  This is one of the recipes that we use for salmon on a regular basis.  Definitely follow the advice of another reviewer and add the dill to the butter sauce.  It enhances the flavor and looks much better.  Thanks for the post.

I agree with mixing the dill in with the butter/lemon juice. I found that the fish comes out much less dry if you wrap the dish in aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Also, you will want to use only half a tablespoon of dill or it's too overpowering. 

It was good but I would definitelty mix the dill in with the butter sauce itself. Otherwise you just have a thick coating of dill on top of the salmon which can be off-putting.

A wonderful dish this truly is! I did cut back on the amount of butter and added in garlic, 2 T of fresh lemon juice, 1 garlic clove chopped up and also fresh chopped dill. I did not use a lot of dill after reading what other reviewers posted, just 1 tsp plus a little more (eyeball the amount) and I also mixed it with the lemon butter sauce before pouring it all over the salmon. The salmon was placed on a foil and after I poured the sauce over it I folded the aluminum tightly and baked 350 degrees for 25 minutes. The salmon came out sooooo moist, flaky, tasty, full of flavor, nothing overpowering. You can play with the amount of dill, lemon juice, etc., so the tastes suits you. I am glad I did cut back on the lemon juice and fresh dill. I also made a dill sauce (from this website) which I served alongside the salmon to dip in and I also made this with mushroom rice pilaf (from this website) with sauteed veggies. A very healthy and tasty dish. a winner and keeper in my recipe box.

My fiance & I liked this but thought that the lemon was a little strong. I would reduce to maybe 4 tbsp. Also instead of the 1/4 cup butter I used 3 tbsp light margarine 1 tbsp fat-free sour cream (would recommend this). I also went light on the dill because 1 tbsp seemed like a lot. I would make this recipe again.

This was my first time making fish and it turned out delicious.  My boyfriend loves it and askes for it every week.  It's very simple and doesn't require a whole lot of ingredients.  A must try!!

Really worked well, though I used much less butter

Ideal pairing of salmon with butter sauce, dill and lemon.
