Rosemary Garlic Butter Salmon

You are going to love this Rosemary Garlic Butter Baked Salmon!

The Rosemary and Garlic Butter give the best flavor and slight crispy top, and the salmon is so tender.

Paired with  Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and a green (here we did Roasted Parmeasn Asparagus, we often do simple roasted broccoli or sauteed broccoli rabe), you have a simple meal that comes together in no time!

A note about salmon and Artic char….

We go through phases where we eat fish regularly and we are in one of those phases!

Salmon is one of our go to fishes to make because we all enjoy it, it’s a mild tasting fish — not fishy tasting or smelling, and the texture is fabulous with a nice gently flake to it.

But truth be told, I am not a fish expert at all! I know what we like and I have a great local fish market whom I trust to give me guidance. I usually tell them what we are thinking of making or what type of fish we want to make and they recommend what’s fresh.

The fish we made here is actually Artic Char because on the day I went to purchase it, the fish store recommended it!

Artic Char is very similar to salmon (I believe it’s even in the salmon family but again, I’m not an expert here!) and has a nice rich flavor but is even less fishy than salmon, is still rich in omega 3 fatty acids and has that fabulous pink color.

So the lesson here is don’t be afraid to ask your local fish market or fish department for advice…  you learn a lot and usually end up with the freshest fish.

And salmon or artic char is extraordinarily versatile!

You can bake it, grill it or pan sear it. and the seasoning possibilities are endless!

So let’s make the Rosemary Garlic Butter Salmon.

All you need is:

salmon or artic char

butter or dairy free butter

fresh rosemary

fresh garlic

salt and pepper

olive oil (not shown)

And it couldn’t be quicker or easier to prepare!

First heat the butter until melted, and saute the garlic for about a minute or until nice and fragrant.

While the butter heats, lightly coat the salmon in olive oil and place a baking sheet.

Top with the garlic butter gently pressing down the salmon in spots to let the garlic butter seep in.

Top with chopped rosemary and bake!

That’s it!

After just 15 minutes, you’ll have perfectly tender flavorful salmon!

Pair with roasted potatoes and a green for a simple meal!

We made Rosemary Roasted Potatoes here.

I’ve added the recipe here on this page as well, though there are more tips and photos on the full recipe post.

And here we made Parmesan Roasted Asparagus.

Again, I added the recipe on this page as well thought there are more tips and information about asparagus on the full recipe post.

You could also do something like a simple sauteed broccoli rabe which has a slight bitter flavor that contrasts nicely to the rest of the meal and that we love!

Hope you love it as much as we do!
