Method
A simple, flavourful salmon dish featuring rich garlic butter and fresh lemon, baked until perfectly tender.
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Line a baking tray or ovenproof dish with baking paper.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, combine:
Melted butter
Minced garlic
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Olive oil
Dried parsley
Salt
Black pepper
Mix well until fully combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking tray. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over each fillet.
Step 4: Add the Lemon
Arrange the lemon slices on top of and around the salmon fillets.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 63°C.
Step 6: Rest
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
