Sweet Honey N' Dill Salmon

This is TJ and I's favorite salmon and I swear it is fool proof!  I do have to add that when picking out Salmon I prefer the Coho Salmon.  It is a fattier salmon and therefor more moist, it is also a very mild tasting fish.  Another option would be the sockeye salmon which is a leaner fish. It is a bit drier due to the lack of fat, and has a stronger fish taste. 

2 lbs Salmon - like I said...we prefer the coho salmon
2 tbsp salted butter
2/3 c honey
1/3 c chopped fresh dill
1 small lemon sliced thin

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Lay a strip of tin foil twice as long as the salmon on a jelly roll pan the salmon down in the center, curling the sides of the foil up so no liquid can run out.  Thinly slice the butter and put on the salmon.  Poor the honey over the salmon starting at the highest point of the salmon (so the honey runs down and covers the whole salmon).   Sprinkle the dill over the honey and then layer the lemon slices on the salmon.


Wrap salmon up with the remaining foil and place in the oven.  Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the salmon is the same color throughout and flakes away easily with a fork.  You want to make sure and check the salmon at 20 minutes because if you overcook it it will taste "fishy."


SOOO stinkin delicious!!!
