This is by far one of my favorite recipes I have shared on this blog thus far!! It’s loaded with yummy garlic and dill flavor and baked in the oven for flakey tenderness. My mom made this for dinner one night a few years ago and it has become one of my favorite dishes ever since. The best part is that it only takes a little over 15 minutes to put this together. It’s perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions!
Salmon is probably my favorite animal-protein. It’s loaded with heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids to help reduce inflammation and keep you feeling satisfied! Just the salmon by itself is tasty, but adding the dill sauce really makes this dish something special.
I could honestly hype this dish up so much, but I really just think you should make this and see for yourself. I guarantee you are sure to love it as much as I do!
