Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking Tray
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets boneless salmon
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley or 2 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • pinch paprika
  • 1 lemon lemon sliced into half-moons

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan). Line a baking tray with foil or a silicon mat.
  • Place the salmon fillets, skin-side-down on the baking tray.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, honey, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Pour the mixture over the salmon fillets (don't worry about any of the sauce pooling on the tray).
  • Arrange the lemon wedges on and around the salmon.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Open the oven and baste the salmon with any of the sauce that has pooled on the tray. Bake for a further 4-7 minutes until the salmon is tender.
  • Serve with your favourite potatoes and green veg.

Notes

The salmon tastes far better when baked and eaten right away. Reheating the salmon can cause it to dry out, so I don't recommend making it ahead. You can mix up the sauce ingredients - except the butter - ahead. Honestly though? It's so quick to make the sauce anyway, that I just make it right beforehand.
