Salmon is a delicious, tasty fish that can handle a variety of cooking styles and tastes. This is how we were taught to make it when we lived in Wasilla, Alaska

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425ยบ
Remove salmon from packaging (if using frozen salmon, allow to thaw in fridge) and rinse the salmon. Pat salmon dry with paper towels.
Spread mayo over salmon. Be sure to use 2 different spoons for this: one for scooping the mayo out of the container, the other for spreading the mayo on the salmon. Even spread the mayo to the best of your ability.
Rough chop the fresh dill and sprinkle over the mayo.
Bake salmon for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT BROIL! Broiling will melt the mayo off the salmon. Once the salmon is cooked and the mayo layer is a little tan, remove, allow to cool, and squeeze lemon over the dish to enjoy!
