Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 1 lb)
  • olive oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 lemon (and more for serving)
  • fresh dill
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (or 175 C).
  • Massage the salmon fillets with about 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper generously over them. Set aside (it's best if you can give them enough time to come to room temperature).
  • Trim off the top and bottom of the onion, then cut in half lengthwise. Slice into thin half-rings.
  • Quarter the lemon. Slice 3 of the lemon quarters into thin slices.
  • Place a big piece of parchment paper over a baking tray. Spread a thin layer of onion half-rings on the parchment paper to create a bed for the salmon to sit on. Place the salmon fillets on the onion bed, then place dill, lemon slices and the remainder of the onion half-rings on top of it (see image below). Sprinkle salt and pepper. Squeeze the last lemon quarter all over.

  • Remove from the oven and serve with more lemon.
