Tree Nut Free Lemon-Dill Baked Salmon
Bright, herby, and deeply satisfying, this baked salmon is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it requires. A quick marinade of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and chopped dill does all the heavy lifting, infusing the fish with clean, vibrant flavor before it ever hits the oven. A pinch of ground turmeric adds a subtle warmth and a gorgeous golden hue that makes the finished dish look almost too pretty to eat. Letting the fillets rest in the marinade for 15 minutes at room temperature is a small step that makes a real difference, giving the flavors time to sink into the flesh before the heat does its work. Baking at 400°F means the salmon cooks quickly and stays moist, flaking apart in tender, buttery layers. Serving it straight from the oven with fresh lemon rounds and a few extra dill sprigs keeps things elegant and effortless. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of any such ingredients — just wholesome fish, fresh herbs, and pantry staples you can feel completely confident about.
