Ingredients

Ingredients for this recipe, with a checkbox to mark each as gathered
Gathered	Amount	Ingredient
	4 (6 oz each)	Salmon fillets
	4 tbsp	Unsalted butter
	4 cloves	Garlic, minced
	1, juiced	Lemon
	2 tbsp	Fresh parsley, chopped
	to taste	Salt
	to taste	Black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon roasts, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat until it turns golden and smells nutty, about 3 minutes.
Stir the garlic into the browned butter and cook for 30 seconds, then remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the salmon and top with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Swap the parsley for dill if you have it on hand — it pairs just as well with the lemon and garlic.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the fish.
