- whisk
Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 2 (6 oz each) salmon fillets skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush them lightly with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Make the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried dill, and dried parsley.
- Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook the Salmon
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, then remove from the oven.
Serve
- Drizzle the warm lemon herb butter sauce generously over the cooked salmon fillets.
- Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, like steamed asparagus or a baked potato.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon in a small amount of the lemon herb butter sauce for 15-30 minutes before baking. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets; thicker fillets will require more time. Do not overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
