Looking for a easy and quick dinner? Look no further! This super quick, healthy and delicious lemon garlic butter salmon will be ready in 30 minutes.

Don’t you love dinners that take 10 minutes to prep? I have to say they’re the best! This lemon garlic and butter salmon is so quick to make and is so flavorful. This quick baked salmon recipe will easily become a family favorite. And yours as well.

Ingredients needed

  • Lemon
  • Butter
  • Garlic
  • Salt, pepper
  • Salmon

Making the Salmon

  1. Preheat oven.
  2. Prepare baking sheet. Line baking pan with foil. Place salmon on foil.
  3. Make your topping. Melt the butter and stir in garlic. Set aside. Squeeze half of a lemon onto the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour butter/garlic over salmon.
  4. Cover with foil. Cover salmon with another piece of foil. Seal all the sides to create a packet.
  5. Bake. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is done.

Optional: After you sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper you can sprinkle with red pepper flakes or your favorite herb. It adds variety without changing lots of ingredients.

A note on the foil: I prefer to lay a piece of foil down, place the salmon and then cover and seal with another piece of foil. I found that it’s easier to cover the salmon and easier to work with. However, you can use a large piece of foil and then fold over and cover the salmon.
