Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 1 fillet (about 2 pounds) Salmon
  • 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons Lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Onion salt
  • 1 small Onion, sliced and separated into rings
  • 6 slices Lemon
  • 1/4 cup Butter, cubed
For the Dill Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Sour cream
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Finely chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish
  • 3/4 teaspoon Dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic salt
  • 1 to taste Pepper

Equipment

  • Baking pan
  • Foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with heavy-duty foil and grease it lightly.
  2. Place the salmon fillet skin side down on the prepared foil. Sprinkle it evenly with lemon pepper seasoning and onion salt.
  3. Top the salmon with the sliced onion rings and lemon slices. Dot the top with cubed butter.
  4. Fold the foil around the salmon to create a sealed packet. This will help keep the salmon moist during baking.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully open the foil, allowing the steam to escape.
  6. Broil the salmon 4-6 inches from the heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  7. While the salmon is broiling, prepare the dill sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, prepared horseradish, dill weed, garlic salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
  8. Serve the baked salmon with the dill sauce.
