How to Make Baked Salmon With Dill Mustard Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3. Wash a 1.5-2 lb salmon fillet and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
4. Place a wire rack inside the baking pan. This allows for even cooking and crispy skin.
5. Rub the salmon with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
6. Place the salmon skin-side down on the wire rack.
7. In a medium bowl, whisk together: ½ cup mayonnaise, ¼ cup sour cream, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
8. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
9. Bake the salmon, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140-145°F (60-63°C).
10. Carefully remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before transferring to individual serving plates.
11. Serve immediately with the chilled dill mustard sauce.
