Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set aside a sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down if using, in the center of the prepared foil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Pour this mixture over the salmon.
  4. Fold the aluminum foil over the salmon to create a tightly sealed packet, ensuring there are no gaps.
  5. Bake the foil-wrapped salmon in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  6. Let the packet rest for about 5 minutes before unwrapping and serve with your favorite sides.
