Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the salmon come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the melted butter and lemon juice in a small bowl. Then, place the salmon in the baking dish and brush the butter mix all over.
  • Top the salmon with the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Sprinkle the fresh parsley and dill on the salmon before serving.

Notes

Baking at 375°F (190°C) is ideal for keeping salmon moist. Cooking time may vary based on fillet size and thickness.
