20 Minute Salmon Roasted in Butter Recipe: A Delicious Dish
This simple yet elegant Salmon Roasted in Butter recipe features tender fillets bathed in golden, garlicky butter and fresh herbs. Roasting brings out the salmon’s rich flavor, while the butter keeps it moist and indulgent. A weeknight dinner that feels gourmet!
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin on or off
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill or thyme
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Prepare Butter Mixture:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic, lemon juice, and zest.
- Season the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add Butter:
- Pour the garlic butter evenly over the fillets, coating the tops well.
- Roast:
- Roast in the oven for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness. Salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temp of 135–140°F (57–60°C).
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
- Use wild-caught salmon for best flavor and texture.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for heat.
- Great with roasted asparagus, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
