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 herb seasoning. 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 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly coat with cooking oil spray or oil; set aside.

Step 2

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 3

Stir in Old Bay, garlic and herb seasoning, lemon juice, and sea salt into the melted butter; set aside.
Step 4

Place salmon portions on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon or pour the melted butter mixture over the salmon, turning each piece to evenly coat with the butter.
Step 5

Sprinkle each with a grind of black pepper, if desired (recommended).
Step 6

Place on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake at 425 degrees F for approximately 11-13 minutes or until no longer dark pink in the center and flakes easily. Do not overcook.
Step 7

Remove to a warm serving plate. Spoon a little of the buttery juice over each, if desired (recommended). Garnish as desired. Serve immediately. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
