Simple Butter Roasted Salmon

What is your favorite fish? I could have salmon almost every day of the week.

Salmon is so flexible. I believe the most versatile of all fish. It is a sturdy fish, and when cooked correctly, it can be so flaky, so tender. Salmon can be cooked on an outdoor grill, in a skillet, baked in the oven, steamed and more. All of these preparations are so delicious and some examples of my salmon recipes include:

MANGO SALSA TOPPED SKILLET SALMON

LEMON ROSEMARY SALMON FOIL PACKETS

SMOKED SALMON GREEN CHILI SALSA

This creation was a complete dinner using two of Alison Roman’s recipes. My last post showed her HEALTHY CREAMY BEANS (YOUTUBE VIDEO) and this salmon I saw on her Youtube channel. She made them each of these separately. I decided to combine them. I am trying to eat healthier and topping salmon over beans instead of a starch is a good start. Now, cooking the lemons and onions in butter is not so healthy nor is topping the salmon with some of the butter. Even though this was delicious, we will not be seeing this in my healthy recipe rotation going forward.

My Simple Butter Roasted Salmon comes together so easily. It begins with melting butter and then dropping lemon slices and red onions in the butter. Let it cook until the onions soften a bit and the lemons release their juice in the butter and they pick up some of the butter. The salmon is placed on a baking tray and then topped with butter, lemon and red onions. The salmon is baked in the oven. This baking process really produces a tender piece of fish.
