Roasted Salmon in Butter
Description
This Roasted Salmon in Butter recipe features salmon fillets gently cooked in a melted butter bath infused with fresh parsley, oregano, minced garlic, and black pepper. The salmon is placed in an 8x11-inch baking dish with the herb-butter mixture and roasted at 425˚F for 8-10 minutes, resulting in a tender, moist fish that retains its natural flavor enhanced by aromatic herbs. Adding asparagus around the fillets allows for simultaneous vegetable roasting, making it a streamlined preparation. The finishing touch of spooning the remaining butter sauce over the salmon and garnishing with extra parsley and lemon slices brightens the dish and adds a fresh aroma.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons salted butter Danish Creamery brand
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, plus more for serving, fresh
- 2 tablespoons oregano chopped, fresh
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Place the butter in an 8 x 11-inch baking dish and set in the oven for 5 minutes, until the butter is melted.
- Remove the dish from the oven, add the parsley, oregano, garlic and pepper, and toss to combine. Carefully place the salmon fillets in the dish, and use a brush to spread the butter herbed mixture on top of the salmon. Add the asparagus around the salmon fillets.
