Lemon garlic butter salmon😋

Baked salmon with butter, parsley and garlic is a quick and easy second course of fish, rich in flavor and great for guests. Salmon is the fish that everyone probably likes and thanks to its very delicate taste it goes well with a wide range of condiments and ingredients. Today I propose to try it roasted in the oven with a tasty aromatic sauce made with butter, parsley and garlic. It is an excellent sauce to enrich any type of fish or meat and take the flavors of the dish to another level. 

This dish is great to keep in mind for dinner for example or for some other holiday. Sometimes when preparing lunches for many people, especially if you want to make a complete menu, you panic for fear of not having enough time to prepare everything. The best thing is to choose at least two courses of easy preparation. However, this does not mean having to give up quality, because as you will see with this recipe, you can prepare an excellent second course full of flavors in about 20 minutes.  Let's see together how to prepare it in a few simple steps.

The other day I didn't know what to cook. I didn't like the pasta, because I had prepared it the day before, and although I am a born pasta maker, I wanted something else. WTF? Risotto? No, neither. Meat, no. Pizza, hmm, no. Omelett? No come on, not even those. In short, for once I was the picky of the family, but since I am also the one who cooks, sometimes I can afford it, right?! And nothing, then suddenly the salmon came to my mind and as soon as it touched my thoughts I got an incredible craving for salmon. Good thing I was near a supermarket with a beautiful fish counter. And so was salmon.
