Lemon Dill Salmon

Ingredients

  • 1 side of salmon, about 1 1/2 pounds
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons, plus 1 teaspoon, melted coconut oil, divided
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill, plus extra for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. Season the salmon with salt all over and place in the base of the fish baker. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons coconut oil, lemon zest, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and dill. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the salmon.

  3. Put the lid on the fish baker and place in the preheated oven. Bake until the fish is firm, just cooked through, about 30 minutes.  Remove from the oven and serve immediately at the table. Garnish with fresh dill for serving.
