2. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

3. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each fillet.

4. Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

For added flavour, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes to give the top a golden, slightly crispy texture. This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
