Deliciously tender salmon with a sweet and salty crust, perfect for impressing guests new to salmon.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened, or more to taste
  • 1.5 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 (2.5 pound) salmon fillet
  • 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), then line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and give it a quick spray of nonstick spray.
  • Combine the butter and molasses in a small bowl, mixing well.
  • Place the salmon, skin-side down, on the baking sheet. Evenly spread the butter mixture over the salmon, then sprinkle with Greek seasoning and drizzle with half of the lemon juice.
  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven until it easily flakes with a fork, about 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Finish by generously drizzling the remaining lemon juice over the dish before presenting it to your eager guests.
