**Ingredients:**


- 2 lemons, cut into thin slices

- 1 salmon fillet

- Salt

- Freshly ground black pepper

- 6 tbsp. melted butter

- 2 tbsp. honey

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup chopped thyme leaves

- 1 tsp. dried oregano

- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish


**Directions:**


1. **Preheat the Oven:**

   - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.


2. **Prepare the Lemon Bed:**

   - Arrange the lemon slices in an even layer in the center of the prepared baking tray.


3. **Season the Salmon:**

   - Season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place it on top of the lemon slices.


4. **Make the Garlic Butter Mixture:**

   - In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, chopped thyme leaves, and dried oregano until well combined.


5. **Coat the Salmon:**

   - Pour the garlic butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillet, ensuring that it is well coated.


6. **Wrap and Bake:**

   - Wrap the foil around the salmon, creating a sealed packet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.


7. **Optional Broiling Step:**

   - For an extra caramelized finish, you can optionally turn the oven to broil and roast the salmon for an additional 2 minutes, or until the butter mixture has set and developed a golden brown crust.


8. **Garnish and Serve:**

   - Once cooked, carefully unwrap the foil from the salmon. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

   - Serve the oven-baked salmon hot, alongside your favorite sides or over a bed of rice or quinoa.


9. **Enjoy!**

   - Dive into the succulent and flavorful oven-baked salmon, savoring each bite of the tender fish infused with garlic butter and aromatic herbs.
