Directions

Prep 5 minCook 20 min

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil, ensuring it's large enough to fold over and seal the salmon.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and melted butter.
3
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet.
4
Pour the butter mixture over the salmon.
5
Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
6
Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, sealing it well to prevent sauce leakage.
7
Bake in the oven for 12-16 minutes until cooked through.
8
Open the foil and broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
9
Remove from the oven and spoon some of the butter sauce over the salmon before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
