Ingredients
  

Key Ingredients
  • 4 fillets Fresh Salmon Fillets Opt for wild-caught salmon for superior flavor.
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest Enhances flavor profile.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Use grass-fed butter for richer flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon zest, heavy cream, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully blended to create a smooth mixture.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the creamy mixture over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside seasonal veggies or fluffy rice for a complete meal.

Notes

To revive leftovers, reheat the salmon in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to prevent drying out. Avoid microwave, as it may compromise the dish’s integrity.
