Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 3 medium lemons, thinly sliced plus 1 for juice
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper.

    2. Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

    3. In a bowl whisk together melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and chopped herbs.

    4. Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared pan and brush generously with the lemon butter mixture.

    5. Arrange lemon slices over the top of the fillets and sprinkle with additional herbs.

    7. Optionally broil for 2 minutes to achieve a golden crust.
