Ingredients
- •Butter(60g)
- •Honey(80g)
- •Garlic(240g)
- •Lemon Juice, Fresh(30g)
- •Salmon(1134g)
- •1 pinch salt (to taste)
- •1 pinch cracked pepper (to taste - optional)
- •4-5 lemon slices (to serve)
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of foil, making sure it’s long enough to wrap and seal the salmon fully.
- 2In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, crushed garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and fully combined, then remove from heat.
- 3Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the foil-lined tray. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and help the sauce adhere better.
- 4Pour the honey garlic butter evenly over the salmon. Use a spoon or brush to spread it across the surface. Season with salt, cracked pepper, and top with lemon slices for added flavor.
- 5Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges to seal it into a packet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet and your preferred doneness.
