- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dill butter evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
