A simple and flavorful baked salmon recipe with garlic butter and lemon, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. This dish is easy to prepare and delivers delicious results.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with your favorite sides like roasted asparagus or fluffy rice.
  • For a sheet pan meal, add vegetables like broccoli florets or sliced bell peppers to the baking sheet alongside the salmon during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  • Ensure your salmon fillet is about 1-inch thick for optimal cooking time.
