    Want to know the salmon recipe I make most in my own house? It's this one! It's so incredibly easy and foolproof. Speaking of fish (and seafood), besides salmon what other fish/seafood do you love most...and would love to see recipes for? Let me know! xo - Lisa
  • @skyndream211
    Preheat the oven to 375^F and bake for 12-15 minutes. Finally, tired of looking for this info through the video and comments each time. Thanks for the recipe 😍
  • @aarudra50k70
    I wish everyone who reads the comments health and happiness to you
  • Guys, I cooked this for my man tonight and he said it’s the best fish he has ever had and the best meal I have ever cooked! I couldn’t have done it without this recipe and these tips so thank you!
  • @Max-nt7ho
    Tried this recipe last night. I usually like my salmon medium-rare. I checked the salmon after baking for 12 mins & at 15 mins. Finally, it took 20 mins to reach my desired doneness. I recommend that the minced garlic should be pre-cooked in a pan before putting on the raw salmons. Otherwise, the garlic still tastes raw after the salmons r baked. Also, next time, I would replace the butter with olive oil.

    My dad bought a ton of salmon and then left for vacation, so this was a great way for me to cook it all before it went bad. We happened to have all of the ingredients on hand, so I made it while the baby was sleeping, and made a side of rice and broccoli while the salmon baked. It came together so quickly and it tasted really good! I was pleased with the results because I’m not too confident with cooking fish. But this was easy and tasty and almost no mess!
  • @jariachin69
    I like that you do not do an overly reaction everytime you tasted your own cooked food even though each dish you made look delicious ... yummy!
  • @jhemard37
    Lisa what I truly love about your videos is your genuine humbleness and sincere style of sharing your recipe videos without pretense.
  • @esams5483
    This is by far the best and easiest salmon recipe I’ve tried. I doubled the garlic cause I love it so I’d suggest anyone to do that if u like it. I also added some more herbs like thyme and rosemary. It came out incredibly juicy and flavorful
  • @TCat13
    This was great! Thank you for posting it. I appreciated being able to see you prepare the recipe here, as well as view it in printed form on your website, very helpful. I look forward to using this recipe again!
  • Thanks for the recipe. Everyone loved it! What I would suggest is putting the lemon juice and garlic into the melted butter and brush the fish that way.
  • @tmsmith30
    Yep, no-fail! I made this recipe tonight and it's definitely a winner in my book. Thanks, Lisa!💖
  • @fredroybal4477
    I am relatively new to your channel, and what I like most is the confidence that you inspire through your “easy going” presentation style! Thank you 🙏🏻
  • @Boobalopbop
    You've done it again! I made this tonight with some salmon filets I had in the freezer (thawing in fridge since yesterday) and some dried parsley, and it's beyond delicious. Meaty, flavorful and super juicy... And I'm kind of a salmon snob. I hate when it's over or under cooked. Your walk through is perfect!
  • Thank you Lisa and community! You are always spot on! Thank you for this recipe!
  • @lsequeira3139
