Creating Garlic Butter Baked Salmon is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
4. Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. Pour the Mixture: Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Broil for a Finish: For an extra touch, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to give the top a golden color.
8. Remove from Oven: Carefully take the baking dish out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
