For the marinade:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Instructions:
1. Prepare the marinade:
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, honey, chopped dill, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until well combined.
- Season the marinade with salt and pepper according to your taste.
2. Marinate the salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a zip-lock bag.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse into the salmon.
3. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare a baking dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
5. Bake the salmon:
- Remove the marinated salmon fillets from the refrigerator and transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the fillets.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
6. Serve:
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven.
- Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the Ginger-Dill Salmon hot with your favorite side dishes like rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
