Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillets.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- To keep the salmon moist, do not overcook it. Check for doneness at the 12-minute mark.
- You can pan-sear this recipe instead: heat 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture in a skillet over medium heat, sear salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes, flip, add remaining butter mixture, and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Serve this salmon with steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus for a complete keto meal.
