Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place salmon fillet in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together Diet Coke, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill (if using).
Pour the Diet Coke mixture evenly over the salmon fillet, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your incredibly tender and flavorful Diet Coke Salmon!
