3 tablespoons melted butter or melted ghee
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon chopped parsley, for garnishing

Directions

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare a baking sheet lined with foil.
Add lemon juice, garlic, and melted butter or melted ghee to a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Place salmon on prepared baking sheet. Pour butter mixture over salmon. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Fold sides of foil over salmon. Place pan into oven, and bake until cooked, about 12-16 minutes. Cooking time depends on thickness of fillet.
Remove foil, and broil salmon for 2-3 minutes. Make sure not to burn the fish!
Remove from oven. Pour some butter sauce left in foil onto salmon before serving; using a spoon.

Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately!
