Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet, providing the famous cardiovascular protector fatty acid called omega 3. But unfortunately, Salmon is also one of the most contaminated foods with heavy metals. This is why I choose to do it in a limited way regarding eating Salmon. Meaning I eat it not more than once or twice a month. But when I do, I absolutely love to prepare baked salmon with butter, lemon, and honey. It tastes sooo good! I hope you like it too. Here is how to make it.

Baked Wild Salmon with butter, lemon & honey

Ingredients:

• About 1.5 pounds of WILD skin-on salmon fillet
• 3 Tbsp butter
• 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp kosher or sea salt, or to taste
• Optional*: 3-5 garlic, finely minced

*Non-Animal-Based

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375F. 
2. Evenly season salmon with salt.
3. Place Salmon on a sheet of foil with the skin side down. Raise the edges of the foil. 
4. Nestle lemon slices underneath the Salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet.
5. Add butter, honey, and lemon juice on top of the Salmon.
6. Seal up the foil (you will likely need to add another sheet on top to seal it).
7. Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, remove the piece of foil, or open up the packet so the Salmon is exposed but keep the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
9. Set oven to Hi broil.
10. Broil salmon for about 5 to 8 minutes or until the Salmon is as golden as desired.
