Moist and tender salmon with a slightly sweet and salty crust—it’s the perfect bite! This recipe is easy and a nice choice to serve for guests who aren’t used to eating salmon. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley and serve alongside rice pilaf or roasted sweet potatoes.
Recipe Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened, or more to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons molasses
- 1 (2.5 pound) salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)
- 1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
Cooking Directions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
- 2 Stir butter and molasses together in a small bowl.
- 3 Lay salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Spread butter mixture evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with Greek seasoning and drizzle with ½ of the lemon juice.
- 4 Roast in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 17 to 20 minutes.
