Broiled Salmon Filet with Lemon and Dill

Warning: the following recipe is INSANELY easy, and gives maximum result with minimal effort.

Prep. time: 10 minutes, Cooking time: 25 minutes

This, in my opinion, is one of the quickest, easiest, and tastiest ways to cook salmon. These 3 factors combined make it one of my favorite ways to prepare salmon, also it is consistently good, and never gets a complaint from my hubby or my fussy 3 year old.

Ingredients

Fresh salmon filet, skin on
4-5 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Lemons
1/4 Cup fresh dill, chopped
Salt and Pepper



Preheat oven to 400F

Line a 9x13 inch metal pan with foil, and spray with cooking spray

Cut salmon filet horizontally into strips approximately 3 inches wide

Place salmon pieces in pan skin side down



Spread mayonnaise on top of salmon to make a layer about 1/3 inch thick

Drizzle with fresh squeezed lemon juice, and place lemon slices halved on top




Sprinkle with fresh chopped dill, salt and pepper



Bake at 400F for 20 minutes, then switch oven to broil, and broil at 550F until mayonnaise becomes brown and slightly crusted (5-10 minutes depending on oven)



Serve with your choice of vegetables, and enjoy!!
