Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz) Salmon fillets
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang to fold the edges up.
  2. Pat salmon fillets bone-dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest vigorously for 30 seconds to create an emulsion.
  4. Place fillets on the foil and pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over each fillet, coating the tops and sides.
  5. Fold the foil edges up slightly to create a boat and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
  6. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let the fish rest for 3 minutes before serving.
