Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple 5-Ingredient Roasted Salmon.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a rimmed baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 3
A light spray of nonstick cooking spray will ensure your salmon doesn’t stick.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine softened butter and rich molasses, mixing them together until they create a smooth, inviting blend.
Step 5
Now, take your salmon fillet and place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Generously spread the buttery molasses mixture over the top, letting it coat the salmon in a delicious glaze.
Step 7
Next, sprinkle a dash of Greek seasoning over the fillet to add a burst of flavor, and drizzle half of the fresh lemon juice on top for a zesty kick.
Step 8
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the salmon roast for about 17 to 20 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when it flakes easily with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy goodness.
Step 10
Once it’s done, don’t forget to drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the salmon for that extra zing.
Step 11
Serve it up and enjoy a delightful meal that’s as satisfying to make as it is to eat!.
