Garlic Herb Roasted Salmon
Description
This recipe prepares salmon fillets brushed with a sauce of melted butter combined with finely minced garlic, chopped fresh Italian parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper for a subtle heat. The herb butter mixture enhances the natural flavor of the salmon without overpowering it.
Baking at 400°F (207°C) for 12 minutes cooks the salmon through while keeping it moist and flaky. The garlic and parsley infuse the fish as it roasts, complementing the bright, tangy notes introduced by lemon juice and wedges served alongside.
Serving immediately after baking ensures the fish is juicy and tender with a rich, savory coating. The lemon wedges provide a fresh contrast to the buttery herb crust, making this dish suitable for a simple yet flavorful main course.
Ingredients
- 12 oz (350g) salmon cut into two pieces, fillet
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh Italian, leaves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 dashes black pepper ground

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, cayenne pepper (if using), lemon juice, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Arrange the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the garlic herb mixture onto the salmon, coating the top and sides well. Bake for 12 minutes, then dish out and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
