SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL
This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

Tips:
- Choose a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant orange-pink color. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a grayish tint.
- Use a sharp knife to score the salmon fillet. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 12 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Make sure the lemon-dill sauce is well-seasoned. Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, grilled asparagus, and rice are all great options.
