TOOLS FOR THIS RECIPE

I DON’T LIKE DILL. CAN I SUBSTITUTE SOMETHING ELSE?

Absolutely! You can substitute tarragon (dried or fresh!) or any other herb of your choosing. And because dried herbs are often more potent/concentrated than fresh herbs, you need less when using dry. The correct ratio is 1 tablespoon fresh herbs to 1 teaspoon dried herbs.

  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

  • Using paper towels, pat salmon dry. Drizzle with olive oil; season with paprika mixture, gently pressing to adhere.

  • Place salmon onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Place into oven and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with dill.

  • Serve immediately with lemon.
