Directions

  1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, then line foil with parchment to prevent any interaction of lemon slices with foil. In center of parchment, arrange lemon slices in an even layer.
  2. Step 2Season salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of lemon slices. 
  3. Step 3In a small bowl, whisk garlic, butter, honey, thyme, and oregano until combined. Pour over salmon, then fold up parchment and foil around salmon.
  4. Step 4Bake salmon until opaque, cooked through, and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 25 minutes.
  5. Step 5Heat broiler. Broil salmon, watching closely, until browned in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
  6. Step 6Transfer lemons and salmon to a platter. Top with parsley.
