An easy salmon dish brushed with warm butter, herbs and topped with parsley and scallions roasted just until tender and flaky. This recipe makes for the most tender, juicy, and flavorful salmon in under 30 minutes! Salmon is such a delicate dish and can easily be over powered with flavors, so that’s why I like to keep it simple but keep it amazing. This roasted baked salmon dish is super easy to make. You can serve it with some fresh asparagus or your favorite veggie. Add some lemon wedges to the dish to unpack some extra juices and flavor!
