Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole (sliced into rounds) lemon
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (cut into small cubes) butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon fillets in a single layer.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared dish, skin-side down if the skin is on.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets.
Add the minced garlic on top of the fillets, spreading it evenly.
Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.
Lay the lemon slices over the salmon, overlapping them slightly, and tuck the fresh thyme sprigs around the fillets.
Pour the white wine around the salmon fillets in the baking dish.
Distribute the butter cubes over the top of the fillets.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the foil during the last 3-5 minutes of baking to lightly brown the tops, if desired.
Serve the baked salmon immediately with the pan juices spooned over top. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
