Celebrating holidays among family members is a tradition most of us follow; however, this might be the first time we celebrate important dates in smaller groups, or in some cases, alone. Easter is right around the corner and I’m guessing that most of you, such as myself, have never cooked anything sophisticated designed for such occasions. If you’re isolated and will have to cook for yourself on this date, don’t freak out! You will not have to order food, trust me! I will share with you today an incredibly easy Baked Garlic-Butter Salmon recipe so you can enjoy your Easter, even if not with your family.
For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lb.)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray. To the center of the foil, lay lemon slices in an even layer.
- Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of lemon slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together butter, honey, garlic, thyme, and oregano. Pour over salmon then fold up foil around the salmon. Bake until the salmon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and broil for 2 minutes, or until the butter mixture has thickened.
- Garnish with parsley before serving.
Staying quarantined can be a burden to many, as it is to me. But unfortunately, now is the time to protect ourselves, our loved ones and all others by isolating ourselves. Easter is an important holiday in which we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection; it represents new beginnings. Although we are now living in a chaotic situation, let us take this as an opportunity to restart our year, our lives and our mindset, giving it all a new beginning. This may not be the Easter celebration many of you expected, but it may be the beginning of a new tradition. This easy and tasty Salmon recipe will help you occupy your mind and hopefully bring you closer to the traditional Easter Dinner you’re used to. I hope you enjoy it! Stay safe, stay positive, stay healthy!
