Equipment
- oven
- Baking Sheet
- foil
- measuring cups
- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 1.5 to 1.75 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
- 1 lemon sliced into thin rounds
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice from about 1 lemon
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
- 5 cloves garlic finely pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Place salmon on a sheet of foil with the skin-side down.
- Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 1 minute on high power.
- Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and garlic. Pour or spoon about three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon, reserving the remainder.
- Evenly season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Seal the foil, adding another sheet on top if needed to ensure it's air-tight.
- If time permits, marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
- Remove from oven and open the packet so salmon is exposed, keeping the edges raised.
- Set oven to Hi broil.
- Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon as desired.
- Broil for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Salmon is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
