Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 150-200g each)
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • olive oil for greasing
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • lemon slices and fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let it brown.
  • Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice into the melted butter and garlic mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  • Place the baking sheet with the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them.
  • Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and garnish with lemon slices and additional fresh parsley if desired.
  • Serve the garlic butter baked salmon hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
