Ingredients
- 4 pieces (5-6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for extra flavor and color)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and olive oil together. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley. Mix well to create the garlic-butter sauce.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
Step 6
Spoon the garlic-butter sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your fillets.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the garlic-bathed salmon fillets hot, paired with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
