Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • aluminum foil
  • medium bowl
  • fork

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon about 4 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 lemon zested & juiced (more for garnish)
  • 4-5 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the baking sheet. Place the salmon fillets in the middle of the baking sheet. Place the skin side of the salmon on top of the foil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon zest and juice, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and parsley.

Bake

  • Spread mixture over the tops of the salmon. Close foil into itself to create a packet and bake, in the preheated oven, for 12-15 minutes (time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon).
  • Remove from the oven, and poke with a fork to check for soft, flaky salmon.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

No fresh parsley? Use 1 tablespoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning.
