Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
Place the wild salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and season with flaked sea salt.
In a small bowl, combine softened ghee (or butter), olive oil, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to create an herb-infused spread.
Spread the herb butter mixture evenly over the salmon.
Bake the salmon for about 14 minutes until it begins to flake easily.
Broil the salmon on high for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden top.
Check doneness by flaking the salmon with a fork; it should break apart easily.
Remove the salmon, let it rest, and serve with fresh lemon wedges to enhance the flavor.
