This Garlic and Herb Compound Butter Salmon recipe is simple yet luxurious, delivering rich, restaurant-quality flavor with minimal effort. Using Locally Seasoned Garlic and Herb Compound Butter, this dish becomes incredibly tender and infused with savory, buttery goodness. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a beautifully balanced meal. Serves three to four.

WHAT

• 20 to 24 oz fatty salmon (fillet or tail)
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 TBSP Locally Seasoned Garlic and Herb Compound Butter

HOW

1. Adjust rack to center position. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl or plate, mix brown sugar, kosher salt and black pepper.
3. Rub over a 20-24 oz piece of fatty salmon (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.)
4. Cut salmon, crosswise into 3 to 4 pieces depending on how large you like your portions and if you’re feeding three or four.
5. Place each piece of salmon, skin side down, in center of parchment. Gather and fold the edges of parchment to form a sealed packet (en papillote.)
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until 125°-130° in the center and salmon is buttery soft and tender.
7. A few minutes before salmon is done, in a small pan on the stove, melt Garlic and Herb Compound Butter.
8. Carefully unfold parchment packet. Pour compound butter over each piece.
9. Serve with a squeeze of citrus.
