How to Make the Best Baked Salmon Fillet

Prepare the Marinade

Mix olive oil, melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings.

Coat the Salmon

Brush the mixture generously over the fillets.

Bake the Salmon

Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

Baking Tips

Use wild-caught salmon for the best flavor and nutrition.

Do not overcook the salmon—remove it from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 125-130°F (52-54°C).

For extra crispiness, broil the salmon for the last 2 minutes of baking.

Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
