Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Lay lemon slices in an even layer in the middle of the foil. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Set filet on lemon slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Pour over salmon. Fold up the sides of foil, tightly wrapping the salmon.
Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Open foil and increase heat to broil.
Broil until the butter mixture has thickened and turned into a glaze, about 2 minutes, and internal temperature reads 145 degrees on a digital thermometer. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Salmon: A salmon filet is half a salmon (also known as a side of salmon). A large filet is around 1 to 2 pounds. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the filet. Thicker filets (2 inches and over) may take about 20 minutes.
Yield: This recipe makes at least 4 generous servings (the exact serving size depends on the piece of salmon you purchase).
Storage: Store leftover cooked salmon covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
