Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound (681 g) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (10 g) minced garlic
- 8 lemon wedges
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill
Special Equipment
Instructions
- Set the oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 375ºF (191ºC).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Place salmon on the sheet, skin side down (if still intact).
- Brush half of the melted butter over the salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the rest of the butter over the salmon.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the salmon. Place lemon wedges around the sides.
- Bake until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 125º (52ºC), about 12 minutes.
- Change the oven setting to broil on high. Broil until the surface is a light golden color and garlic just begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Carefully remove the skin from the salmon and transfer fish to a serving platter.
- Garnish with parsley and dill, serve with roasted lemon wedges.
Notes
- MAKE IT WHOLE30: Ghee or extra-virgin olive oil can be substituted for butter. Substitute kosher salt for sea salt.
- Larger salmon fillets can be used, adjust cooking time until the 125ºF internal temperature is reached.
- Salmon can be cut into individual sized pieces and baked according to recipe directions.
