Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs Side of Salmon
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced fine
  • 1 large Lemon, zested and halved
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon bone-dry with paper towels and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
  5. Pour the lemon-garlic emulsion over the salmon, spreading it to cover the entire surface.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the flakes separate easily with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and the remaining lemon juice before serving.
