A delightful salmon dish featuring a zesty lemon herb butter, perfect for a flavorful and elegant meal.
Combine the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well mixed.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Shape the butter mixture into a log on greaseproof paper, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate until firm.
Chilling the butter makes it easier to slice into rounds.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place each salmon fillet on a piece of foil, top with two slices of the chilled herb butter, a lemon slice, and a dill sprig.
Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing during cooking.
Seal the foil packets tightly and place them on a baking sheet.
Ensure the packets are sealed well to trap the steam.
Bake the salmon packets in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Check one packet to ensure the salmon is cooked through.
Serve the salmon with the juices from the packet, alongside boiled new potatoes.
Garnish with additional fresh dill for a vibrant presentation.
