When you want something that tastes restaurant-quality but is easy enough for a weeknight, this oven-baked garlic herb butter salmon fillet delivers every time. The fish turns out tender, juicy, and infused with rich, garlicky flavor — and it’s all done in under 30 minutes.

🍋 Tips for the Best Garlic Butter Salmon

• Don’t overbake. Salmon is perfect when it flakes easily but is still moist in the center.
• Use real butter — it adds a depth of flavor that oil can’t match.
• Add a few lemon slices or fresh herbs on top before baking for a beautiful, aromatic touch.

🥗 Serving Suggestions

This garlic herb butter salmon pairs beautifully with:

• Steamed asparagus or roasted broccoli
• Garlic mashed potatoes or buttered rice
• A light side salad with lemon vinaigrette
