This is my own quick and easy recipe for a very moist, buttery baked salmon. It is lightly flavored with Old Bay seasoning, a touch of lemon and garlic and herbs. Don't shy away from trying this because of the amount of butter used. Most of the butter remains in the pan. I serve it with a baked potato, romaine salad and cheddar chive biscuits. Simply delicious. Also, there is almost no clean-up!

How To Make buttery baked salmon

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Step 2

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly coat with cooking oil spray or oil; set aside.
Step 3

Put butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or cup; place in microwave and heat just until melted, about 20-30 seconds on high power.
Step 4

Stir in Old Bay, garlic & herb seasoning, lemon juice and sea salt; set aside.
Step 5

Place salmon portions on prepared baking sheet.
Step 6

Spoon or pour melted butter mixture over salmon, turning each piece to evenly coat with the butter.
Step 7

Sprinkle each with a grind of black pepper, if desired (recommended.)
Step 8

Place on middle rack of preheated oven; bake at 425ºF for approximately 11-13 minutes, until no longer dark pink in the center and flakes easily. Do not overcook.
Step 9

Remove to warm serving plate; spoon a little of the buttery juice over each, if desired (recommended.)
Step 10

Garnish as desired. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
