Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using. Mix until you form a compound butter.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the seasoned butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can briefly place the baked salmon under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes at the end to slightly brown the top, mimicking a sear.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed green beans or a side of rice pilaf for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, increase the dried parsley to 1/2 teaspoon.
