Description

A fast and easy salmon dish with minimal clean-up, and it tastes fancier than it is. Great for a weeknight dinner. Fabulous served with jasmine rice and a side salad!

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 375F.

2. Place salmon on foil-lined baking sheet (makes for easy clean-up!).

3. Coat salmon in olive oil. Add a few dashes of lemon pepper and salt, evenly distributing over fish. Place fish in oven.

4. Chop/mince garlic and chop shallot finely and place in small pan.

5. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter to the pan. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes, to soften shallots. Reduce heat and keep warm until fish is done.

6. When fish is cooked, transfer to plates and pour the shallot butter over it.
