Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds wild Alaska sockeye salmon (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375° F. Place salmon on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet, skin side down. Lightly brush the salmon with olive oil. Lightly salt and pepper the salmon. Bake in your oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon filets. Insert an instant-read thermometer to make sure the middle of the salmon filet has reached 145° F. Remove the pan from the oven.
- While salmon is baking, add mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper and dill to a blender. Blend until combined.
- Drizzle the sauce over the cooked salmon filets and eat and enjoy!
