Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler on high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil. Season them evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat source, and broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 7

Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, and cook for another 1 minute. Remove the garlic sauce from the heat.

Step 8

Once the salmon is broiled, remove it from the oven and transfer it to serving plates.

Step 9

Drizzle the garlic sauce over each salmon fillet. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
