The Ingredients You’ll Need
For this Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Salmon, you’ll need:
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, depending on your preference)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, but highly recommended for that extra crispy finish)

How to Make the Garlic Butter Herb-Crusted Salmon
1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary), lemon zest, and lemon juice. This is the flavorful sauce that will coat your salmon fillets. For an extra touch of flavor, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese (if using).
2. Season the Salmon
Pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste. This simple step ensures the fish is perfectly seasoned throughout.
