This recipe, perfect for any occasion, uses fish's best friends: butter, fresh herbs, and lemon. Baking at a high temperature allows the fillet to lightly brown on foil without having to fry the fish. So, there's less washing up to do. This quick oven-baked salmon is perfect for a special occasion or a midweek dinner, and the time saved can be used to create a new and interesting side dish.

Ingredients:

• Olive oil to grease the foil
• 4 skinless salmon fillets weighing 150-170 g.
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Preparation:

Step 1
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 230°C. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with olive oil.
Step 2
• Place the salmon fillets evenly spaced in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Bake until the fish feels firm to the touch and flakes easily (insert a small knife into the flesh to check); the color will range from bright pink (medium) to pale pink and orange (well-done), 8-12 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
Step 3
• Remove the fillet from the oven, place a pat of butter on top, and let it melt. Sprinkle the fish with herbs, drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates. Serve hot or at room temperature.
