****NOTES****Easier Way to Cook This Dish
You can reduce some of your cooking time by eliminating the step of searing the fish. I used this method a lot when I am crunched for time. You will definitely have great flavor but you will lose the slightly crunchy seared texture. Here's the easier method:
Turn the oven on broil. Ensure all salmon pieces are dried. Rub each side of the fish pieces with olive oil. Salt and pepper both sides of the fish. Place fish pieces on a pan lined with foil for easy clean up. Under each piece of fish place some of the garlic and fresh dill. Then garnish the top of the fish pieces with the lemon slices, and the rest of the garlic and fresh dill used for the fish topping. Ensure your oven is hot, and place fish in oven. Cook fish for 7 to 10 minutes. |
