Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets boneless salmon
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley or 2 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, honey, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

  • Arrange the lemon wedges on and around the salmon.

Notes

Salmon tastes best when baked and eaten right away. Leftovers can be served cold as part of a salad or in a wrap. Not recommended for freezing.
