Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 lemons Lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 large Salmon fillet (about 3 lb.)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 tbsp Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Chopped thyme leaves
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Lay lemon slices in an even layer in the center of the foil.
- Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place it on top of the lemon slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, thyme, and oregano.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
- Fold up the sides of the foil around the salmon to create a packet, sealing it tightly. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Switch the oven to broil and broil for 2 minutes, or until the butter mixture slightly thickens and caramelizes.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh salmon for the best flavor. For a crispy top, leave the foil slightly open during the last few minutes of baking.
