Lemon Dill Salmon w/ garlic and honey drizzle

So I started an herb garden in my backyard and have been on a mission to use my fresh herbs as much as possible. I went to check on it tonight and noticed my dill got flattened in the crazy wind we have been having. Of course, I had to save some! I was trying to figure out how to best use it with my dinner plans, and this turned out to be the perfect combination of flavors!

Ingredients:

  • Filet of fresh salmon (I get 1.5 lbs from the grocery and it makes ~4 servings)
  • 2 stems of fresh dill, chopped (I cut mine with herb scissors)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Flaky sea salt, probably around a tsp
  • Pepper to taste
  • Drizzle of honey

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F
  2. Score salmon on top into squares so the seasoning gets all up in there.
  3. Mix together all ingredients, except honey
  4. Pour over top of salmon, spreading evenly
  5. Drizzle honey over top of salmon filet
  6. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until internal temp is 140° F (I take it out at this point because it will cont cooking on the counter. This allows it to get to apetece 145°)
  7. Enjoy!
