This baked salmon is what easy, weeknight dinners are all about! It's moist, flakey, and baked with a delicious lemon garlic butter sauce!

  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped dill

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375F/190C and let the salmon come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix together the melted butter and lemon juice (I use the juice from 1/4 slice of lemon) in a small bowl. Then, place the salmon in baking dish and brush the butter mix all over.

    Top the salmon with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
