Ingredients

1 lb (500g) salmon fillet
salt
ground black pepper
lemon wedges

Honey Garlic Butter

2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
3 dashes cayenne pepper optional
1 teaspoon chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (207°C).
In a small bowl, melt the butter in a microwave, about 10-15 seconds. Add honey, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper (if using) and chopped parsley.
Lay out two big sheets of aluminum foil. Make sure they are big enough to cover and wrap the salmon. Place the salmon on top and season with salt and ground black pepper on both sides of the salmon. Add 1/2 of the Honey Garlic Butter to the fish. Spread well. Wrap up the foil tightly to make sure there is no leakage.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Unwrap the foil and spoon out the extra water that seeped out from the salmon. Drizzle the remaining Honey Garlic Butter on the salmon, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the salmon and serve immediately.
