Ingredients

4 (6oz) wild salmon fillets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine or broth

Method

01. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Place fillets on the tray, skin-side down.
03. Whisk oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Brush evenly over the fish.
04. Top with lemon slices and fresh dill. Pour the wine around the fish on the tray.
05. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Stewart's Secret: If you want to check for doneness without overcooking, press the thickest part of the fillet gently; it should give slightly under your finger and look opaque throughout.
