Baked Salmon Recipe

Ingredient notes

Salmon: A salmon filet is half a salmon (also known as a side of salmon). A large filet is around 1 to 2 pounds.

Step-by-step instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Lay lemon slices in an even layer in the middle of the foil. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Set filet on lemon slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, garlic, oregano, and thyme. Pour over salmon. Fold up the sides of the foil, tightly wrapping the salmon.
Bake until the salmon is cooked through when tested with a digital internal thermometer. Open foil and increase heat to broil. Broil until the butter mixture has thickened and turned into a glaze, about 2 minutes, and internal temperature reads 145 degrees on a digital thermometer. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Recipe tips and variations

Yield: This recipe makes at least 4 generous servings.
Storage: Store leftover cooked salmon covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It's a great recipe for meal prep along with cooked quinoa or rice and roasted broccoli.
Sauce: omit the lemon slices and fresh herb glaze and substitute a drizzle of lemon butter sauce, teriyaki sauce or even hollandaise after baking.
