Ingredients:
- For the Salmon:
- 5 skinless salmon fillets (about 5 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- For the Creamy Lemon Garlic Sauce:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Lemon slices, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Position the rack in the center.
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until combined.
- Season the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each one is evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Bake the Salmon:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- While the salmon bakes, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it thicken slightly, then remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice (if using) and sprinkle with chopped parsley, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Drizzle the lemon garlic sauce over the baked salmon. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with sides like mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, or roasted asparagus.
