Ingredients:
- Salmon (any type, I prefer king salmon)
- Softened butter
- Lemon juice
- Olive oil
- Fresh minced garlic (or jarred if you’re in a pinch)
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley
Quick Guide:
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Take a large piece of foil and place it on a baking tray.
- Make the Garlic Herb Butter: Mix together softened butter, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
- Prepare the Salmon: Lay the salmon skin-side down on the foil. Spread the garlic herb butter mixture evenly over the salmon. Fold the foil up around the edges of the salmon but leave the top open.
- Bake: Pop it in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes. For a golden crust, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with more parsley and parmesan if you like, and enjoy!
Pro Tips:
- Choose fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor, but frozen works great too.
- Don’t overcook the salmon to avoid it becoming dry. It’s better slightly undercooked as it will continue to cook once removed from the oven.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and simply reheat in an air fryer or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy again.
This dish pairs wonderfully with sides like lemon rice, roasted potatoes, or garlic asparagus. It’s a foolproof recipe that’s sure to impress with its delightful flavors and minimal cleanup!
