Garlic Butter Salmon
Description
This Garlic Butter Salmon begins by placing a deboned salmon filet skin side down on foil prepared to enclose the fish tightly. A sauce made from melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and coarse black pepper is poured over the salmon. The foil packet is sealed to trap steam and moisture while the salmon bakes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cooking for 15 to 18 minutes yields tender salmon that is infused with buttery garlic and bright lemon flavors without needing to turn or baste. Carefully opening the foil after cooking reveals moist salmon with a lightly seasoned crust from the butter and garlic. This preparation focuses on preserving the natural texture and flavor of the fish with a simple, aromatic sauce.
