Lemon Dill Salmon Fillet is an easy and elegant dish where salmon is prepared with the flavors of lemon and dill. These two ingredients enhance the taste and freshness of the salmon. The fish is seasoned with salt, black pepper, and dill. It is then baked to keep it juicy and tender, though it can also be grilled. Finally, it is garnished with lemon slices and fresh dill. You can serve it with rice, vegetables, or salad for a complete meal.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and green beans, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Brush the shiny side of 2 large pieces of aluminum foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil each. Place salmon skin-side down in the center. Brush remaining olive oil and garlic over salmon. Sprinkle dill on top. Divide lemon slices over salmon; squeeze 1/2 lemon on top. Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/3 teaspoon salt.
Cover salmon with 2 pieces of aluminum foil, shiny side down. Roll aluminum foil inwards on all sides to create a pouch—transfer pouches to a baking sheet.
Bake in the oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
Mix mayonnaise and capers in a small bowl to make a tartar sauce. Stir in juice from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Serve steamed potatoes, green beans, and tartar sauce alongside salmon.
