Description

This easy lemon dill baked salmon is fresh, herby, and ready in just 25 minutes—perfect for a fuss-less weeknight dinner that feels a little fancy. Made with simple low-FODMAP ingredients, it’s a go-to recipe that’s as delicious as it is doable.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon, sliced into 4 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic-infused olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh dill
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 8 thin lemon slices (about lemons), seeds removed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the salmon pieces on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with garlic-infused olive oil.
  3. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dill over each piece, gently pressing it down to help it stick.
  4. Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Top each piece with 2 lemon slices.
  6. Bake for 4 to 6 minutes per ½ inch of thickness or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. According to the FDA, salmon is considered done when a food thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F.
  7. Serve warm, squeezing the roasted lemon slices over the top or discarding them if preferred.

Storage: Leftover salmon can be refrigerated in a sealed container for use within 3 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Notes

Low FODMAP Serving: One serving of this recipe (one 4-ounce piece of salmon) contains low FODMAP amounts of ingredients at the time of publication. Individual tolerance may vary, and FODMAP servings can change over time. For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the Monash FODMAP App or see the “FODMAP Notes” section above the recipe.

Note 1: I use skin-on salmon and place it skin-side down on aluminum foil. My family isn’t a fan of the skin, so this method makes it easy to separate—the skin sticks to the foil as it bakes, and I can slide a fork in between to lift the cooked salmon right off. If you enjoy the skin or are using skinless salmon, try using parchment paper or lightly greasing the foil to prevent sticking.
