Evening guys! I made this yummy salmon dish on Monday night. The hubby has never been a big salmon fan, but I am slowly convincing him that he actually does like salmon! The girls like most all fish and they ate most of their serving, but they are just not big lemon lovers yet. I am thinking some sort of sesame ginger glaze next time!
Lemon Butter Salmon
Ingredients- Serves about 4 adults plus a little leftover for a dog treat=)
2 pounds salmon
4 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the lemon juice and minced garlic, allow the lemon juice to reduce a bit. Add in 2 tablespoons of butter, remove pan from heat and stir until the butter starts to melt. Place the pan back on the heat for a few seconds. Repeat with second tablespoon of butter.
When butter is completely melted, remove sauce from stove.
Place the salmon filet in a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the garlic butter sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cover with foil so that all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.
Bake the salmon for about 12 minutes or until firm. Open the foil and allow the fish to broil under the broiler for 2 minutes, keeping an eye on it so the fish does not burn. Remove from oven.
I served it with some whole wheat couscous and green beans. I added mine on top of a fresh salad. Delish!
