Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) for richness
  • 2 pieces lemons juiced for that fresh zing
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic for a stronger flavor
  • 1 tablespoon paprika adds warmth and color
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish and generously brush the butter mixture over each fillet.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
  2. Once done, remove the salmon from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
