Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the Scottish salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the fillets.

  3. 3

    Chop the Dill

    Finely chop the fresh dill and sprinkle it over the salmon fillets.

Cooking

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Bake the Salmon

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
