Serving size: 2 people
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 18 mins
Ingredients
- 10 ounces salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter or melted ghee
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 0.13 teaspoon black pepper

- 0.13 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnishing)
- lemon slices (for garnishing)
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. The piece of foil should be large enough to fold over and seal the fish.
- 2. In a small bowl, add lemon juice, garlic, and melted butter or melted ghee. Whisk everything together.
- 3. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet.
- 4. Pour the butter mixture over the salmon.
- 5. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- 6. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon. Make sure it is well sealed so that the sauce does not leak.
- 7. Place the pan into the oven, and bake until cooked, about 12-16 minutes. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillet.*
- 8. Open the foil, and broil the fish for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the fish!
- 9. Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, pour some of the butter sauce left in the foil onto the salmon before serving. Then, garnish with parsley.
