Garlic Butter Lemon Salmon

Ingredients

  • Salmon Fillets: 4 (6-8 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off, your preference. Salmon is the star of the show, providing healthy fats and a delicate, rich flavor.
  • Unsalted Butter: ½ cup (1 stick), softened. Butter is the base of our luscious sauce, adding richness and helping to carry the garlic and lemon flavors.
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced. Garlic is a powerhouse of flavor, bringing a pungent and savory note that complements the salmon and lemon beautifully. Freshly minced is always best for maximum flavor.
  • Fresh Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons, plus lemon slices for garnish. Lemon juice provides brightness and acidity, cutting through the richness of the butter and enhancing the salmon’s natural flavor. Freshly squeezed is key for the best taste.
  • Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons, chopped. Parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous note and a pop of color. It brightens the dish and adds a touch of elegance.
  • Dried Oregano: 1 teaspoon. Oregano brings a warm, slightly peppery, and aromatic element that rounds out the herb profile of the sauce.
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon, or to taste. Salt enhances all the flavors and is crucial for seasoning the salmon and the sauce.
  • Black Pepper: ¼ teaspoon, freshly ground, or to taste. Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle spice and depth of flavor.
