The cat is finally OUT of the bag and by golly you guys, I feel 100 pounds lighter. I’m a TERRIBLE secret-keeper and, to be honest, not sharing this monumental news with you had me feeling incredibly inauthentic. PHEW, I’m so glad that’s over. 🙂

If you have *no idea* what I’m talking about, check out this blog post!

Speaking of family, this salmon dish is a great one to feed a crowded table! With a grand total of 10 minutes in the oven, it’s an easy protein that takes minimal prep. All you need to do is drizzle your favorite pieces of salmon with olive oil, grate a few cloves of garlic (if you cut that corner with ground garlic, I won’t tell a soul), spread the garlic over the salmon, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then finish with a piece of fresh dill. You’re now, essentially, DONE with dinner!

These gorgeous pieces of salmon were actually caught by my husband! He, his Dad, and one of his brothers went up to Alaska for an epic week-long fishing trip in Glacier Bay National Park. He came home with 100 pounds (!!) of individually frozen fish filets, so we’ve been happily working our way through the hard-earned stash. Next to this salmon, he also brought home a good amount of Black Bass (from the Rock Fish Family), 3 pieces of the highly precious Yellow Eye (also Rock Fish, but very limited supplies limit catches to 1 fish per person, per year), a LOT of Halibut, and even some King Salmon. The fish bounty has been GLORIOUS! That being said, navigating the best store-bought seafood choices can be difficult. If you don’t already, I highly recommend downloading the Seafood Watch App! It’s hosted by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and will let you know the best seafood choices.

Speaking of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, if you’re interested in marine biology, you MUST follow them on Instagram!! Whoever runs their social media deserves a raise. It’s fantastic, fabulous, hilarious, informative, and makes me want to revisit my childhood dreams of becoming a marine biologist. GO FOLLOW NOW!

I hope you love this easy-peasy, flavorful dill and garlic baked salmon recipe!
