on Apr 16, 2013, Updated Apr 08, 2024 19 Comments Lemon Dill Salmon has to be one of my very favorite salmon recipes. The flavors are simply perfect and delicious! And this salmon really couldn’t be easier to prepare. Which makes it wonderful to prepare for guests or a busy weeknight or weekend dinner. Simply place lemon slices on top of your salmon filet, then top with a mix of chopped dill and parsley. Then, drizzle the entire filet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

I recommend always using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of meats when you cook them, regardless of whether you’ve cooked them on the grill, stove, or in the oven. You can just never be too careful in my book. According to the USDA, the salmon’s internal temperature should register 145º F when fully cooked. I like to remove it from the heat source at 130 to 135 degrees, cover it, and allow it to continue cooking as it rests. This prevents the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry and makes it moist, tender, and delicious. It is certainly one of my favorite fail-proof tricks!

Storage Tips

Allow the salmon to cool completely. Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator for up to four days.

Leftover Makeover

Salmon Salad: Top a bed of fresh greens with leftover salmon. Serve with a citrus vinaigrette dressing. Salmon Dip: Follow the recipe as written for salmon dip. I prefer to remove the lemon slices and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Here’s the recipe for my Lemon Dill Salmon. I hope you love it as much as we do. Enjoy!Robyn
