Seafood time! It's a decently rare occurrence in our household so get SUPER excited okay? Introducing an easy peezy, lemon squeezy, absolutely delicious skillet lemon dill baked salmon!
My friend Kate told me she cooked up some salmon filets on the stove with basically just a jar of freshly squeezed lemon juice...uuuuum I obviously had to make that immediately 🤯😍.
And ohmygod, it's SO good! I added white wine, some fresh dill, and butter (duh) for extra yums.
OH PS. Major bonus points? This entire recipe is done in just ONE skillet! An oven safe one to be exact. Easy to cook, easy to clean, and done in less than 30 minutes?? Winwinsolidwin.

HI,
Just curious why in the image you have what appears to be thyme sprigs, in addition to dill. Is it for added effect, or is it part of your version of the recipe?
Am going to make it tonight without any thyme.
