Notes
Use fresh and high-quality Norwegian salmon fillets for the best results.
Allow the salmon to come to room temperature before baking for even cooking.
Adjust the amount of dill and other herbs according to personal taste preferences.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the flaked salmon for extra tanginess.
Double the recipe and freeze half of the flaked salmon for future use.
Serve the Norwegian Salmon with Dill Sauce alongside a lemon wedge for extra zing.
