Instructions

1Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with a large sheet of foil, ensuring it's long enough to wrap and seal the salmon fully.
2In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the honey, crushed fresh garlic, and fresh lemon juice—cook for 2–3 minutes, whisking until smooth and fully combined, then remove from heat.
3Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and place it skin-side down on the foil-lined baking sheet.
4Pour the honey garlic butter sauce evenly over the salmon, using a spoon or brush to spread it across the surface, then season with salt and cracked pepper.
5Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges tightly to seal it into a packet.
6Bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
7Carefully open the foil packet (watch for steam) and top each portion with fresh parsley.
8Divide the salmon and sauce evenly into 8 airtight containers while hot, allowing to cool slightly before sealing and refrigerating.
