1
Make the garlic Dijon sauce by combining extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest and juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground coriander, sweet paprika, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Whisk everything together thoroughly.
2
Line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil first, then place a sheet of parchment paper on top. Lightly brush the parchment with olive oil.
3
Place the salmon fillets neatly on the prepared baking pan.
4
Season the salmon fillets with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
5
Pour the garlic Dijon sauce evenly over each salmon fillet, making sure they are well coated with the flavorful mixture.
6
Carefully tent the aluminum foil over the salmon, crimping the sides tightly to create a dome that traps steam for even cooking.
7
Place the covered pan in a 375°F (190°C) oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the salmon is almost fully cooked through.
8
Remove the foil and transfer the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to finish cooking the salmon and achieve a light golden finish without burning.
9
Transfer the cooked salmon to serving plates, garnish with fresh chopped dill, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
