Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter and molasses until smooth and well-blended. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if applicable). Evenly spread the butter-molasses mixture over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle generously with the Greek seasoning, then drizzle with half of the fresh lemon juice. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Roast in the preheated oven until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 17-20 minutes. (17-20 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh parsley, and serve immediately alongside your favorite accompaniments. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened butter.
Adjust the amount of Greek seasoning to your taste. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Ensure the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
