Salmon is more than just a delicious fish; it’s a nutritional powerhouse that offers a wide array of health benefits. One of the standout features of salmon is its high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fats that our bodies cannot produce on their own. These omega-3s are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and have been linked to numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, reduced risk of chronic diseases, and enhanced brain function.

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.

      Place Salmon in Dish: Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.

        Coat Salmon: Spoon the garlic butter mixture evenly over each salmon fillet, ensuring to cover them well.

          Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven, garnish with additional chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
