Ingredients

4 Salmon Filets about 6 ounces each, skin-on or skinless, your preference
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Butter Melted
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Lemon sliced optional
Fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, melted butter, and brown sugar.
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, 1 Tablespoon Butter, 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
Place the salmon filets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the olive oil mixture over each filet and season with salt and pepper.
4 Salmon Filets, Salt and pepper
Arrange lemon slices on top of the salmon filets and place a few on the side for extra flavor.
1 Lemon
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon cooks through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer.
Once done, garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
