Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each), skin-on

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• Juice of 1 lemon

• Lemon wedges for garnish

• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a paste.

3. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly spread the garlic and herb paste over the top of each fillet, pressing it gently to adhere.

4. Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

5. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

6. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon fillets.

7. Serve the roasted garlic and herb salmon hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh parsley. It pairs well with steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a side salad.
