Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Set aside.
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.
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.
Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
Spoon the garlic-butter sauce evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
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.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the garlic-bathed salmon fillets hot, paired with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
