Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source, and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, and cook for another 1 minute. Remove the garlic sauce from the heat.
Once the salmon is broiled, remove it from the oven and transfer it to serving plates.
Drizzle the garlic sauce over each salmon fillet. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
