Ingredients

  • vegetable oil cooking spray
  • 8 (4 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and place salmon fillets in the dish.

Step 2
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30-second increments until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Step 3
Mix lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the melted butter; pour over the salmon.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 18 minutes.

Cook?s Note

I use wild salmon fillets that are approximately 1/2-inch thick. You can use one large 2-pound salmon fillet cut into eight individual pieces if preferred.
