Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Cut a large piece of foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil. Spread the herb mixture evenly over the top.
- Fold the foil around the salmon to create a sealed packet but leave some space for steam to circulate.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes if you like a crispy top.
- Garnish with extra parsley and parmesan before serving.
