Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley.

Drizzle half of the garlic butter mixture over the salmon fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until cooked through but still moist.

Remove from the oven and drizzle remaining garlic butter over each fillet. Garnish with additional parsley before serving.
