Baked Salmon

Ingredients:

Salmon fillet
Small amount of butter
Lemon juice
Seasoning Salt
Dill Seasoning (I love the Pampered Chef Dill Seasoning, but if you don't have that - you could use dill weed)
Lemon slices - for garnish

Directions:

Wash and pat dry the salmon fillet. Place on a large sheet of aluminum foil - large enough to make an "envelope" of sorts around the fillet.

Sprinkle the salmon with a very small amount of lemon juice, followed by the seasoning salt. Place 4 - 5 small pats of butter on the salmon. Sprinkle with the dill seasoning.

Wrap the salmon in the aluminum foil, closing tightly and leaving space around the salmon so that it can steam. Place the foil package on a cookie sheet with edges - just in case there is any leakage.

Bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes. Remove from oven and test salmon for doneness. If it is not done enough, reclose the package and replace in oven for a few minutes longer. A few times with larger pieces of salmon I have had to cook for longer than the 35 minutes. When I replace the package in the oven I do so for only 5 minutes at a time. You definitely don't want over done salmon.
