Garlic Butter Salmon

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Arrange Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each fillet.

Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.

Optional Broil: For a golden finish, broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes after baking.
