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.
