Dill Salmon Freezer Meal

The pictures of this Dill Salmon don’t do it justice. It is flaky and flavourful and delicious. It is one of our favourite freezer meals. 

This is so incredibly fast to put together. It bakes in less than half an hour, making it such an easy recipe. If you are new to freezer meals, this is a great one to start with.

Our nickname for this one is Salmon Dilly. I’m not sure where the name came from, but it’s stuck. When I say that we’re having Salmon Dilly for supper, everyone knows what I mean.
