How to Make Easy Rosemary Lemon Dill Salmon
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spread 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the foil. Then, place the salmon fillet(s) skin side down on the oil.
Spread the other 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the salmon until evenly coated. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and dill. Then, slice the lemons into thin wheels, place them over the salmon, and place the sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the salmon as well.
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F or to your desired doneness. Once the salmon is cooked, remove the rosemary sprigs and serve.
How Long to Bake Salmon at 400
If you are baking salmon at 400°F, cook the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remember to use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is at least 145°F.
How Long to Bake Salmon at 350
If you are baking salmon at 350°F, cook the salmon for 25-30 minutes, depending on the thickness. Remember to use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is at least 145°F.

As I mentioned, potatoes and rice go really well with this salmon recipe. Try serving it with rice pilaf, roasted fingerling potatoes, or our Creamy Mashed Potatoes in the KitchenAid Mixer!
Tools You’ll Need
The good news about this recipe is you don’t need any fancy tools to make it!
Sheet Pan: The main tool you’ll need for this recipe is a sheet pan.
Meat Thermometer: It’s essential to have a meat thermometer on hand when cooking meat and fish to ensure the internal temperature is safe to eat.
Foil: I like using foil for this sheet pan recipe not only to protect the pan from grease and potential burn marks, but makes clean up so incredibly easy.
Tips and Variations
Blackened Salmon: Turning this simple salmon into a blackened salmon is so easy and delicious if you’re looking for a little extra kick. Sprinkle about two teaspoons of your favorite cajun seasoning in place of the dill and rosemary.
Garlic: Add a clove or two of minced garlic for extra flavor!
Storage: Salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
