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

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

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

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

4. 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.

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

6. Serve: Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
