  •  4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  •  1 tablespoon olive oil
  •  3 tablespoons lemon juice
  •  Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 390F.
  2. Place salmon in a small baking dish. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Top with butter and garlic, drizzle over lemon and olive oil.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until salmon is just cooked through.
  5. Cool for a few minutes, then flake into large chunks – it will break up more when tossing.
