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

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; set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the lemon juice, honey, and garlic. Pour or spoon about three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Seal up the foil, possibly adding another sheet of foil on top; crimp together to make it as air-tight as possible.
- If time allows, marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place the foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully open the foil packet.
- Set oven to Hi broil.
- Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired.
- Broil salmon for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden as desired.
- Optionally garnish salmon with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Salmon is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
