If the salmon is especially cold let it rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Blot the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place salmon in a baking dish or on a baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle olive oil over top of the filets. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until salmon is opaque and flaky when pulled apart with a fork.
While salmon is baking, combine your Lemon Dill Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together until well combined.
Serve the cooked salmon with green veggies. Top each fillet with Lemon Dill Sauce and a sprinkle of fresh finely chopped dill or parsley.
