This was so easy to prepare and it was really good. I think I used a bit too much lemon juice but other than that, it was great as a first time with salmon. I've been dying to try salmon at home, I always get it in restaurants. I will definitely use this again. Thanks for posting the recipe. Terri B Louisville, KY

I am cooking it now for my boyfriend. It's the first meal I have cooked for him and will update you in a bit to see how he liked it. I added balsamic vinegar to the bottom of the pan. My mom uses it when she cooks hopes it doesn't take away the flava.

Very easy to prepare. Didn't have any lemon juice, use lime instead with the butter. Didn't use the dill as we're not big fans of dill. Cooked for 15 minutes. perfect! Thanks!

Pretty tasty. I caught 2 King Salmon and 2 Lake Trout today so decided to try this recipe on them. Turned out pretty tasty!

I baked salmon last night, using this as a guideline. I didn't have lemon juice, but I tried something else: I basted the fillets in olive oil, then sprinkled them with dill weed and fresh rosemary. It was excellent!

 Norman Davidson (Ontario) says:
This was an excellent and very simple recipe for a salmon fillet. I normally poach my salmon but this is simpler and tastes just as good.I did, however, make a change in the baking time. The fillet was about 3/4-inch thick and I do like my salmon well baked(not over cooked) so I added approximately 5 minutes.

I out of lemon juice too, but I added half an orange, salt, pepper and I am going to take a risk with the rosemary.

I wrapped mine in paper when baking it to trap all the juices. I do like flavors so I added mushrooms and bacon on top whilst cooking whilst resting on a bed of spinach.

I tried this recipe for my Father's Day dinner. It was so juicy and flavorful. My wife LOVED it. We were suppose to eat one steak today and the other tomorrow, but she ate her other half today. Hope she doesn't touch my other half. Delicious!

This is always how I cook my fresh salmon. A great recipe just as it is! I wouldn't change a thing! My husband says he don't like dill but he loves this! Serving with fresh spinach salad.
