Easy Lemon Dill Salmon recipe. Made with only 6 ingredients, this simple dinner idea is perfect for a quick weeknight meal.
Wow, it is HOT in Chicago!
We have the air conditioner running all night and all day, and I am still feeling extremely warm. Making this recipe was the first time I have turned the oven on in weeks!
Because if I’m turning on the oven in this heat, you can bet that it will be no more than 15 minutes!
This Lemon Dill Salmon is definitely worth the oven time.
Perfect for the summer, with dill and lemon flavours, this salmon is going to be on a regular rotation around here for sure!
This recipe kind of reminds me of my lemon and garlic salmon recipe, but a lot faster to make since you don’t need to mince the garlic.
And it is so easy to make too!! All you need is:
- salmon filets
- olive oil
- chicken broth
- heavy cream
- dried dill
- lemon
- salt
That’s it!
This summer, if you are turning on your oven for anything, I would suggest it be to make this salmon.
Now it’s back to no bake desserts and takeout for me. That is, until the weather gets a little cooler.
Until then, you can find me right in front of the air conditioner with a glass of iced tea.
