1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

Salt & pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoon parsley (chopped)

Fresh lemon juice (to taste)

Anweisungen

Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven. If possible, let the salmon warm up on the counter for 15-20 minutes prior to cooking it.

Add the oil and butter to a small bowl and melt it in the microwave.

Place the fish skin-side down in a baking dish or on a foil-lined baking sheet. Season it with some salt & pepper, and then pour the oil/butter mix over top and sprinkle the parsley on.

For a large single piece of salmon: for a piece that's about 1" in the thickest part, bake, uncovered, for 18-20 minutes and then check it. If it flakes easily with a fork, it's good to go. You can always pop it back in the oven if it's looking too raw in the thickest part. For a thinner piece, check after 15 minutes.If using individual fillets (about 1" thick): bake, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until a piece flakes easily with a fork (pop it back in the oven if it's still too raw in the thickest part).

Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salmon, serve, and enjoy! If you don't want to eat the skin, simply slide the salmon off of it when serving (use a metal spatula or knife).
