Lemon-Butter Baked Salmon
Ingredients
  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 8 (4 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature, specifically 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a baking dish and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent the salmon from sticking.
3
In a separate bowl, place butter that is safe for microwave use and heat it in short intervals until it reaches a melted state, approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4
Mix together lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl before adding the melted butter; pour this mixture over the salmon fillets.
5
Place the prepared salmon in the preheated oven and cook until it flakes easily with a fork, typically taking 12 to 18 minutes.
