The salmon recipe of your dreams! A complete meal on one pan and packed full of flavour. Like our One Pan Honey Lemon Chicken, Honey Mustard Chicken and Potatoes and our One Pan Lemon Garlic Baked Salmon, this Garlic Butter Baked Salmon is so easy to make using minimal ingredients.
BAKED SALMON
Garlic butter baked salmon is a CLASSIC. It’s possibly one of the easiest and most delicious ways to eat a tender piece of salmon. This dish gets cooked twice a week in my house. I feel like it’s been a while since we last gave you a salmon dish and it’s time. Obviously, we are BIG fans of anything and everything smothered in garlic butter, like our Chili Garlic Butter Shrimp and our Lemon Garlic Butter Scallops. This aromatic recipe is no exception! Normally, you may opt for pan seared salmon for a guaranteed crispy exterior with a pull-apart tender interior. Our baked salmon recipe delivers soft, buttery and tender salmon on the inside with charred, crisp, garlicky edges. A delicious restaurant-quality dinner!
SALMON
What you will love the most about this garlic butter baked salmon recipe is that you can prepare it all on just one pan. Perfect for getting your sides cooked at the same time as your main for anyone short on time. In this particular salmon recipe, we use an incredible Garlic Butter sauce inspired by our Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi.
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BUTTER BAKED SALMON
This really is an incredibly easy recipe with only four steps:
Bake your potatoes first as salmon needs less time in the oven. This way you’re guaranteed the potatoes will be cooked through when it’s all finished. I used fingerling potatoes in this recipe because we LOVE the flavour of them! You an also use Yukon golds or halved baby potatoes. Once your potatoes are done, push them to the side and pile on your asparagus and salmon pieces. Pour on all of your flavours. Prepare an amazing garlic butter sauce with a hint of white wine (optional) and lemon juice.
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE
If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t worry! This recipe is versatile, use what you have on hand. No butter? Use olive oil. Don’t like asparagus? Use broccoli. Make it your own!
HOW LONG TO BAKE SALMON
Salmon only needs 8-10 minutes cooking time in a hot, preheated oven (400°F or 200°C). I broil/grill ours in the last 2 minutes of cook time to get those crispy, golden charred edges.
WINE SUGGESTIONS FOR BAKED SALMON
I love a chilled glass of white wine with my salmon. We enjoyed a glass or two of chilled Moscato with this! If you’re not a fan of sweet wines, try a good Pinot Gris or Sav Blanc. Tip: Chill your wine glasses in the freezer for about 30 minutes to keep your wine cool!
HOW TO STORE COOKED SALMON
Salmon will last up to 3 days in the refrigerator if stored properly.
