Ingredients
-
nonstick cooking spray
-
2 tablespoons butter, softened, or more to taste
-
1 ½ tablespoons molasses
-
1 (2.5 pound) salmon fillet
-
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)
-
1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray.
-
Stir butter and molasses together in a small bowl.
-
Lay salmon, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Spread butter mixture evenly over the salmon. Sprinkle with Greek seasoning and drizzle with ½ of the lemon juice.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 17 to 20 minutes.
-
Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice and serve.
Cook's Notes:
Whole sides of salmon are very affordable and easy to find in most grocery stores.
You can use honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar in place of molasses. And instead of Greek seasoning, you can use salt and pepper, jerk seasoning, or Cajun seasoning... whatever you like!
