Ginger Dill Salmon
Ginger Dill Salmon is a wonderful mix of light and bright flavors from the topping with the buttery richness of the fish. An adaptation of this New York Times recipe served with a citrus salad- I love the addition of jalapeno pepper for a slightly warm finish. It can also be prepared up to two days in advance. Best of all, it taste equally delicious whether served at room temperature or chilled.
Ingredients
- 1-2 pound salmon fillet
- ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- 1 jalapeno pepper deseeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper and coat with a drizzle of olive oil. This will help prevent the salmon from sticking. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared sheet pan, skin-side down.2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

- Evenly spread the ginger dill mixture over the salmon, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the salmon for added flavor.
- Roast the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the salmon. The salmon is done when it reaches 145°F (63°C), or you can check for doneness by gently inserting a fork and seeing if the fish flakes easily.
