Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup honey
4 cloves garlic large, crushed
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed, juice of 1/2 a lemon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with a large sheet of foil, making sure it’s long enough to wrap and seal the salmon fully.
In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey, crushed garlic, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and fully combined, then remove from heat.
Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the foil-lined tray. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and help the sauce adhere better.
Pour the honey garlic butter evenly over the salmon. Use a spoon or brush to spread it across the surface. Season with salt, cracked pepper, and top with lemon slices for added flavor.
Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges to seal it into a packet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet and your preferred doneness.

Notes

I use two sheets of foil when wrapping my salmon to ensure it completely wraps around the width of the fillet.
