Categories     Fish     Dinner     Broil

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ounces butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 dash white pepper
4 salmon filets, 4-5 ounces each

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except for salmon in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.
  • Stir until combined.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Using a pastry brush, coat the salmon with the lemon herb butter, evenly spreading it over the tops of each fillet.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees on the top or second to top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Alternately the fish can be broiled on medium/high on the second to top rack for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. This method will give you a bit more crunchy, caramelized crust.
