This go-to recipe uses a fish's best friends: butter, herbs and lemon.

Make this quick entree often, and use the time you save to try a new side dish to go with it.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil, for the foil
Four 5- to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill and/or parsley
Half a lemon

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and brush with oil.
  • Place the salmon fillets, evenly spaced, in the middle of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the outside is opaque and slightly firm to the touch and the inside flakes easily (insert a small paring knife between layers to check; the color will vary from bright pink (rare) to pale pink to orange (well-done)), 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the desired doneness.
  • Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Lemon-Garlic Herb Butter image

As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

BROILED SALMON WITH MUSTARD AND LEMON



Broiled Salmon With Mustard and Lemon image

In this simple salmon recipe, a quick stint under the broiler transforms smooth Dijon mustard into a savory, caramelized crust, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds just the right brightness and tang to the rich, sweet fish. Covering the baking pan with a protective layer of aluminum foil helps with the cleanup, meaning you can cook dinner and wash up in under 30 minutes.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, seafood, main course

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, each about 1-inch thick
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Position one oven rack 6 inches from the broiler heat source then heat the broiler. Season the salmon fillets all over with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple of grinds of pepper and place them on an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan, skin side down.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the oil and mustard until well mixed. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with this mustard mixture.
  • Broil until the salmon is opaque with a deep brown crust, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. (The center of the fillets will be dark pink, if you pierce one with a paring knife and take a look.) If your fillets are thinner, reduce cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes. If you prefer more well-done fish, add 1 or 2 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge all over the cooked salmon fillets, then serve salmon with more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Select a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet. For the best results, choose wild-caught salmon.
  • Set the Right Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature in advance to ensure even cooking.
  • Butter Consistency: Make sure the butter is softened but not melted. This will allow it to spread easily over the salmon.
  • Using Fresh Herbs: Use fresh herbs like lemon, thyme, and parsley for the best flavor. If using dried herbs, use half the amount.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon for at least 30 minutes in the lemon-herb butter mixture enhances its flavor and keeps it moist.
  • Roast Carefully: Roast the salmon until it flakes easily with a fork. Overcooking can dry it out.
  • Rest before Serving: Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving, as this helps the juices redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Roasted salmon with lemon-garlic-herb butter is an incredibly flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. Its combination of tangy lemon, aromatic herbs, and rich, buttery sauce makes it a delightful culinary experience. Whether you prefer a simple preparation or a more elaborate one with additional ingredients, this recipe provides a solid foundation for a delicious and satisfying meal. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your perfect flavor combination and enjoy this delightful roasted salmon dish.
