Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the salmon fillet on a lined baking sheet, skin side down. Generously coat the top of the salmon with the marinade.
  3. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the marinated salmon for 15 to 30 minutes if time allows.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the baking sheet with the marinated salmon on the middle rack. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
  6. For a gorgeous finish, switch your oven to broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Once out of the oven, let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside lemon wedges.
