Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil.
Place your whole salmon onto the prepared baking sheet, then season it with salt and pepper.
Bake the salmon in your preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the flesh is flaky and cooked through.
While your salmon is baking, you can start on your dill sauce. Begin by melting the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the flour to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps in your sauce.
Add the fresh dill to your sauce and continue to cook it until it has thickened to your liking.
Once your salmon has finished baking, serve it with your homemade dill sauce.
