Oven Baked Salmon with Lemon

Easy baked salmon with lemon and dill! This salmon recipe is one of my favorite dinner recipes! The salmon stays moist and tender thanks to this easy baking method. I love how it practically melts in your mouth.

This easy baked salmon recipe never fails! The secret for perfectly baked salmon is to bake the salmon in a bit of liquid — you can use wine, stock, and even water. After adding the liquid, cover the salmon with parchment paper or foil and bake. The salmon gently poaches in the oven. You could easily call this recipe oven-poached salmon. It’s practically no-fail.
