Equipment
- 1 glass baking dish
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs wild-caught salmon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- garlic powder
- dried herb blend I personally love and use trader joes 21 seasoning salute
- 3 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper (omit pepper if your dried herb blend includes it)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 °F.
- Grab a glass baking dish long enough to fit your salmon filet.
- Add the olive oil to the dish to make sure the bottom is covered so the salmon doesn't stick.
- Place the salmon skin-side-down in the prepared baking dish.
- Evenly pour the lemon juice on the filet. Then season with a generous amount of garlic powder and herb blend to lightly cover the filet.
- Place your tablespoons of butter evenly spaced on the salmon filet.
- If you're adding veggies, add them now around the salmon filet. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and your choice of seasoning (s&p, garlic powder, etc.).
- Place your glass baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 min or until the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145 °F. You can also test for doneness by inserting a fork in the salmon and twisting it a bit; the fish should be opaque and flake easily.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
