This garlic dill salmon is wonderfully simple to prepare and great to eat. Baked salmon fillets are marinated in a paste of fresh dill, garlic, and olive oil.

Ingredients

2 (1 1/2 pound) salmon fillets
salt and pepper to taste
1 head garlic, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
1 ounce fresh dill, chopped

Directions

1 Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them skin-side down in a baking dish.
2 Process garlic in a food processor to a rough mince. Add olive oil and dill; pulse a few times to combine. Rub garlic mixture over fish. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4 Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
