  4. Brush the salmon steaks with the herb mixture.
  5. Place the salmon steaks on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Lemon Dill Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Serve the roasted salmon steaks with the lemon dill sauce and roasted garlic and herb butter.

Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • You can cook the roasted garlic and herb butter in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
