Garlic Butter Roasted Salmon

If you’re in the mood for a healthy and tasty meal, look no further than this garlic butter roasted salmon recipe. With just a few simple ingredients and easy steps, you can create a dish that’s bursting with flavour and packed with nutrients.

For The Garlic Butter

4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 garlic cloves, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard

1 teaspoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE SALMON

12 ounces centre-cut salmon fillet, skin on and pin bones removed

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Direction

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lemon zest, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the compound butter. Put aside.

Place the salmon fillets in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Allow to stand for 20 minutes at room temperature after seasoning with salt and pepper.

Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 125°F. When flaked with a fork, a softer, slightly translucent pink should appear toward the centre of the flesh.

Remove the salmon from the oven and, while still hot, spread 2 tablespoons of the compound butter over the top.

Sprinkle with the parsley and serve hot.

This dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges for added flavour and presentation
