How to make Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon?

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted or Salted French Butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup Lemon Juice, freshly squeezed
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced or grated
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp. Onion Powder
  • 2 tbsp. Chopped Parsley
  1. In a bowl, whisk the melted French butter, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and chopped parsley.

How to oven bake salmon?

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.
  3. Bake the salmon for 12-18 minutes, depending on the thickness, then boil an additional 2-3 minutes. The salmon is fully cooked when opaque throughout. Enjoy immediately.

What side dishes to serve with salmon?

  • Potatoes
  • Aspargaus
  • Roasted Green Beans
  • Creamy Fettuccine Pasta
  • Lemon Pasta
  • Roasted Brussel Sprouts
  • Cilantro Lime Rice

Can I meal prep salmon?

Absolutely! I have listed a few meal prep tips below:

  • You may not want to cook the salmon all the way the first time, as it can become dry and overcooked when reheating.
  • If not baking until ready to serve, season the salmon according to recipe details and store in airtight containers until ready to bake. This helps the flavors to be better absorbed by the salmon too!

How to store leftover salmon?

Refrigerate the salmon in shallow airtight containers or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum or plastic wrap. When properly stored, cooked salmon will last 3-4 days in the fridge.

How to reheat leftover salmon?

Place the salmon uncovered on a rimmed baking sheet and heat up at 275F for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130F. Reheating at a lower heat helps to keep the salmon tender and flaky.

I truly hope you all enjoy this treasured recipe that has nestled its way into our hearts here in the ABM kitchen! ’till next time… xxL

This is so very tasty! For us the star of the show was the potatoes! Make sure to use the thicker salmon cuts for this recipe to give yourself enough time to have soft potatoes, but not have dry salmon. Thanks for the recipe, Lauren!
