total timeIngredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
½ tablespoon lemon juice (plus more lemon slices for garnish)
3 garlic cloves (minced)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
1 teaspoon finely chopped dill
Directions
Mix and Brush
Brush the salmon. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the salmon come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the melted butter and lemon juice (I use the juice from ¼ slice of lemon) in a small bowl. Then, place the salmon in the baking dish and brush the butter mix all over.
Bake the salmon. Top the salmon with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle the fresh parsley and dill on the salmon before serving.
