Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each fillet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  5. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
