Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry, brush with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place skin-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Spoon the lemon herb butter over each fillet, spreading to cover the top.
  4. Bake 12-13 minutes until almost cooked through, then broil on high 2 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  5. Plate the salmon, spoon over pan juices, and top with extra fresh herbs. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

Let the salmon rest 2 minutes after baking so the juices settle. If your fillets are thinner than 1 inch, check for doneness a minute or two early.
