Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Salmon
  • 4 salmon fillets (6–8 oz each / 170–227 g each)
Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
Garlic Butter Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Garnish and Serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F / 204°C and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of oil.
  2. Dry the salmon fillets with paper towels, then arrange them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Coat the salmon with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  4. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl, whisking until blended into a smooth glaze.
Baking
  1. Spread the garlic butter glaze over the top of each salmon fillet.
  2. Bake the salmon for 12–15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F / 63°C.
  3. Add the warm pan juices over the baked salmon before serving.
Serving
  1. Finish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Dry the salmon before seasoning to help the glaze stick well and develop better browning during baking.
