Lemon Butter Salmon Recipe
Seafood lovers, this is for you! This lemon butter salmon dish looks sophisticated but is quick and easy to put together.
Ingredients
- 4 lemons thinly sliced
- 1 large salmon filet skinless (about 2-3 lb.)
- salt + pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Then rip off two larger sheets of tin foil and place one horizontally across and the other vertically across the center of the pan.
- Then lay lemon slices in an even layer ontop of the tin foil. Ensuring you cover as much area as the salmon will lay on (you may need an extra lemon to have enough coverage).
- Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of lemon slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, garlic and oregano. Pour over salmon then fold up foil around the salmon. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Take salmon out of the oven and open the tin foil.
- Switch the oven to broil, and broil Salmon for 2 minutes, before it gets too crispy. You are looking for a light charcoal.
- Garnish with parsley before serving for an extra fancy touch.
