Salmon — Choose fresh salmon fillets with firm flesh and a vibrant pink color. Remove any bones before cooking for a hassle-free dining experience.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some additional fresh dill over the glazed salmon before baking.
If you prefer a stronger tang, add a touch of Dijon mustard to the honey dill glaze.
Serve the salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute it with dried dill, but reduce the amount by half.
To achieve a beautiful caramelized glaze, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.

Serving advice

Serve the Honey Dill Glazed Salmon hot, garnished with fresh dill sprigs and a squeeze of lemon juice. Pair it with a side of roasted potatoes or steamed rice for a satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

Arrange the glazed salmon fillets on a platter, drizzling any remaining glaze over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill and lemon wedges for an appealing presentation.
