Preheat oven to 200 °F. Fill a baking pan halfway with water and place on the lowest level rack of the oven.
Oil a large sheet pan, place salmon filets and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Fish should be opaque in color and internal temperature reaches 130 °F.
Dill Aioli: Place garlic and salt in a mortar and pound until it forms a smooth paste. Place egg yolks with mustard and lemon juice in a bowl. Beat egg yolks and slowly whisk in the olive oil in a thin and slow stream. Add water as it begins to thicken and continue to add the rest of oil in stream. Add lemon zest and adjust salt level, if needed. 3. Serve salmon with aioli and chopped dill on the side.
