GARLIC LEMON BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine water and lemon juice in a bowl.
• Arrange the 16 smaller pieces of butter in 2 rows on a baking dish and top with garlic slices. Place salmon fillets over each row of butter and garlic.
• Melt remaining sliced butter in a bowl with minced garlic, about 40 seconds. Spoon about half the melted butter-garlic mixture over salmon and top with lemon slices. Pour about half the lemon juice mixture into the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Baste fillets with juices in the baking dish, then pour remaining butter and lemon juice over the fish. Continue baking until salmon is easily flaked with a fork, about 10 minutes more.

LEMON BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute garlic in butter; whisk in lemon juice, salt, pepper and pepper sauce. Transfer 2/3 cup to a serving bowl; set aside., Place salmon in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan.

SHEET PAN LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Place salmon on a sheet of foil (with the longer side parallel with the longer side of the sheet pan) with the skin-side down. Raise the edges of the foil up about 2 inches (or enough so that when you pour the buttery mixture over the top it will be contained in the foil).
• Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet; set aside.
• To a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and garlic. Pour or spoon about three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.
• Evenly season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Seal up the foil. Likely you will need to add another sheet of foil on top in order to seal it. Crimp or pinch the top and bottom pieces of foil together; get it as air-tight as possible but it doesn't have to be perfect. If you have time, set aside to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes (enhanced flavor).
• Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
• Remove baking sheet from the oven and remove the top piece of foil or open up the packet so salmon is exposed but keep the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
• Set oven to Hi broil.
• Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired. Use your judgment and if there's already lots of juice you don't need to add it because you don't want it to start leaking. If you have extra buttery mixture, it's great served over the finished dish.
• Broil salmon for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until salmon is as golden as desired.*
• Optionally garnish salmon with parsley and serve immediately.

BAKED LEMON-BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Cut Salmon Filet width-wise into about 1-1/2 inch pieces.
• Spread a thin layer of butter/margarine over each salmon steak.
• Slice lemon, and place 1 slice of lemon on top of each salmon steak.
• Squeeze lemon juice out of unused portion of lemon evenly over each ste ak.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve with rice. Variations: The margarine is not necessary, however my husband says it's too bland without the margarine, and the lemon flavoring is stronger without the margarine. It also prevents drying if you like your salmon cooked thoroughly.
