- Season salmon with salt and pepper.
- Seal up the foil pack tightly. If possible, let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Place foil pack on a baking sheet and bake for about 17 minutes.
- Open the foil packet so the salmon is exposed but keep edges raised to contain the butter.
- Set oven to Hi broil.
- Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon if desired.
- Broil salmon for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the salmon is golden as desired.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Salmon is best warm and fresh but can be stored airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
