Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets 6-ounce each
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the salmon come to room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the melted butter and lemon juice in a small bowl. Place the salmon in a baking dish and brush the butter mixture all over.

Notes

Baking at 375°F (190°C) helps keep salmon moist. Cooking time varies based on fillet size and thickness. Fillets last 3 to 4 days in the fridge in a sealed container. You can use ghee or olive oil instead of butter if you are dairy-sensitive.
