Description

A simple yet elegant baked salmon dish with a vibrant lemon garlic butter sauce that transforms weeknight dinners into cherished moments.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon slices, for garnish
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  4. Add the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the salmon fillets.
  6. Top with lemon slices and fresh parsley.

Notes

Using parchment paper on your baking dish may help in easy cleanup. Marinating the salmon in lemon juice before cooking intensifies the flavor.
