  • Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6-ounce) king salmon fillets 
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice 
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped 
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped 
  • Lemon wedges for serving 

Instructions

Prepare the Salmon:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Make the Lemon-Herb Butter:
3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, lemon juice, parsley, and dill until well combined.

Roast the Salmon:
4. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle the lemon-herb butter over the top.
5. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Serve:
6. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy skin, sear the salmon skin-side down in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes before roasting.
  • Serve with a side of asparagus, roasted potatoes, or wild rice.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
