Ingredients in IKEA Salmon Fillet With Lemon Dill Sauce
- Salmon fillet — IKEA salmon fillets are conveniently cut into portions that you can bake from frozen or thaw them out ahead of cooking. Otherwise, you can choose to use fresh salmon fillet from your local grocery store, preferable on the day of purchase. You can cut any large salmon fillet into smaller portions.
- Butter — we use salted butter but unsalted is fine.
- Garlic — one clove of garlic, minced, is a good amount but you can adjust to your liking. Don’t like garlic? No problem, you can leave it out.
- Lemon — freshly squeezed lemon juice is best
- Salt — Himalayan, ground, or you can leave it out if using salted butter.

You can follow these easy salmon fillet SJÖRAPPORT IKEA salmon cooking instructions.
STEP 1 – Make Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce.
Combine the garlic lemon butter sauce ingredients in a bowl.
STEP 2 – Prepare Salmon Fillets
Butter an oven safe baking dish. Place salmon fillets in the dish and pour the garlic lemon butter sauce over the salmon.
STEP 3 – Bake in preheated oven.
Place baking dish with salmon fillets and butter sauce into the preheated oven. Depending on your oven, you’ll need to bake them for 15-18 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily.
You’ll want to be sure the salmon is cooked through and has reached a safe internal temperature. Use a digital food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fish to ensure it has reached at least 145°F
While the salmon is in the oven, you can heat the lemon dill sauce (STEP 4).
STEP 4 – Heat Lemon Dill Sauce
Heat lemon dill sauce in a medium saucepan on the stove using low to medium heat. Bring to boil, then remove from heat and set aside. Cover it so it will stay warm until the salmon is ready to go.
Once salmon is cooked fully, let it rest for five minutes and then transfer to individual serving plates.
Spoon warm lemon dill sauce over each salmon fillet.
What to Serve With IKEA Salmon Fillets With Lemon Dill Sauce
Salmon fillets are incredibly versatile and can be served with a variety of side dishes. Our favorite way to enjoy IKEA salmon fillet has got to be with IKEA LÄCKERGOM lemon and dill sauce and Swedish Hasselback potatoes.
Also fantastic are:
- steamed broccoli or steamed mixed vegetables
- Instant Pot Brussel sprouts
- garlic green beans
- Instant Pot wild rice pilaf
- Instant Pot mushroom rice pilaf are great sides to serve with lemon butter salmon.
- House style salad with mixed greens
We also love Instant Pot mashed potatoes or Instant Pot mini dill potatoes. IKEA lemon dill sauce is fantastic with these potatoes, but if you don’t have it you can enjoy with sour cream and freshly snipped chives! You can substitute Instant Pot homemade yogurt or labneh for sour cream if you have some.
IKEA Atlantic Salmon Fillets Cooking Instructions
The cooking instructions provided on IKEA’s SJORAPPORT Atlantic Salmon Fillets are:
Storage: Keep frozen below 0°F. Do not refreeze once defrosted.
Preparation: Prepare in oven. Preheat, 350°F. Frozen product 14-16 minutes. Defrosted product 8-9 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Our fillets were partially defrosted by the time we baked ours and we found that between 15-18 minutes was needed for our oven so you might need to adjust the timing.
After cooking, be sure to use a digital food thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the salmon to be sure the temperature reaches 145°F.
Storage Tips
We love to use IKEA frozen salmon fillets that you can find at IKEA Supermarket if you live near one. These are perfectly portioned and keep for months in the freezer.
Once cooked, the salmon can be kept in the fridge for three days but the taste is much better if consumed within a day or two. We try to finish our leftover salmon the next day.
If using fresh salmon fillets from a local grocery store, we like to plan to bake our fresh salmon the day it is purchased, or the next day. You can keep them in the fridge for up to two days but of course, the sooner you cook them the better.
If you need to freeze it, ensure the fillet is wrapped air tight in foil and then sealed in a freezer safe bag. Fresh salmon fillets can be kept safely frozen for up to three months.
You can freeze cooked salmon for about four to six months.
Best Uses for Leftover Salmon Fillets
Leftover salmon fillets can be enjoyed as is or you can mix them up for a salmon salad sandwich.
Another great option for leftover salmon is to make a seafood chowder with bite sized pieces of salmon.
