Lemon & Garlic Baked Salmon
Lemon & Garlic Baked Salmon
Wrapping the salmon in foil allows the juices to infuse beautifully in the salmon, resulting in the salmon literally melting in your mouth. A little bit of honey provides a subtle natural sweetness to the dish but it is equally delicious without. Feel free to exchange the butter with olive oil as a lighter alternative.
