Lemon & Garlic Baked Salmon

Lemon & Garlic Baked Salmon

By: Lisa Holmen

Wrapping the salmon in foil allows the juices to infuse beautifully in the salmon, resulting in the salmon literally melting in your mouth. A little bit of honey provides a subtle natural sweetness to the dish but it is equally delicious without. Feel free to exchange the butter with olive oil as a lighter alternative.

Recipe


Ingredients

  • 500g boneless salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Juice ½ lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp honey
  • Cracked pepper & salt, to season
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Method


  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Place a large rectangle of foil on a baking tray and place the salmon in the middle of it, leaving enough foil around to wrap it.
  • Melt butter on low heat in a small saucepan, add the garlic and lemon and cook until aromatic, then whisk through the honey. Season and adjust to taste.
  • Pour the lemon butter sauce on the salmon then sprinkle with parsley and top with lemon slices.
  • Wrap the foil around the salmon and seal. Bake in the oven for approx. 20 mins until cooked to your liking.
