Equipment

  • sheet pan
  • Aluminum foil
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • measuring cup

Ingredients
  

Salmon and Seasoning

  • 1.5 pounds skin-on salmon fillet about 1.5 to 1.75 pounds
  • 1 large lemon sliced into thin rounds
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice from about 1 lemon
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • 5 cloves garlic finely pressed or minced; or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley optional for garnishing

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Place salmon on a sheet of foil (skin-side down). Raise the edges of the foil up about 2 inches to contain the buttery mixture.
  • Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet; set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and melt on high power for about 1 minute.
  • Stir in lemon juice, honey, and garlic. Pour three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.
  • Evenly season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Seal up the foil, making it as air-tight as possible. If time allows, marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and remove the top piece of foil, keeping the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
  • Set oven to Hi broil.
  • Spoon reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired.
  • Broil salmon for 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden as desired.
  • Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Salmon is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
