Savory Herb Butter Crusted Salmon Fillets
Delicious salmon fillets topped with a savory herb butter crust.
Ingredients
- 4.0 fillets salmon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2.0 cloves garlic
- 1.0 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1.0 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1.0 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1.0 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1.0 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.0 serving lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or spatula to mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon and rub it gently to coat evenly.
- Generously spread the herb butter mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring each is completely coated for maximum flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve the herb butter crusted salmon with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Serve with lemon wedges.
