Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 lb salmon fillets (6 fillets)
- olive oil
- 6 tbsp salted butter, softened not melted
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
- 3-4 cloves garlic, crushed
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray or brush a little olive oil on a baking sheet. Take salmon fillets out of the fridge and pat dry with a paper towel. Arrange salmon skin side down on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. In a small mixing bowl combine softened butter, parsley, lemon zest and garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. Scoop equal amounts of the butter mixture on top of each salmon fillet (about 1-2 tbsp per fillet). Spread over the top of the fillets to coat as evenly as possible. Bake the salmon in a 400 degree F oven for about 12-14 minutes until flaking. Remove from the oven and serve or use for meal prep (see ideas above). Enjoy!
