Baked salmon recipe seasoned with garlic, roasted lemons, and fresh herbs. A healthy family dinner ready in just 30 minutes.
ingredient
- 1 ½ pound salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 8 lemon wedges
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill
Directions
- Preheat the Oven – Set the oven rack to the center position—Preheat to 375ºF (191ºC). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Prepare the Fillet – Place the salmon on the sheet, skin-side down (if still intact). Brush half of the melted butter over the fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the remaining butter on top, then add the minced garlic. Place lemon wedges around the sides.
- Bake the Salmon – Bake until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 125ºF (52ºC), about 12 minutes.
- Broil the Salmon – Change the oven setting to broil on high. Cook until the surface is a light golden color and the garlic just begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- To Serve – Carefully remove and discard the skin, then transfer the fillet to a serving platter. Garnish with parsley and dill, and serve with roasted lemon wedges.
