Garlic Butter Salmon

Garlic Butter Salmon bakes a deboned salmon filet in a foil packet infused with a mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, and coarsely ground black pepper. The foil locks in moisture, allowing the salmon to cook gently, resulting in tender, flavorful flesh with rich garlic and lemon notes.
