Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/4 lb sockeye salmon
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp cold butter, cubed
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Directions:
Directions:
Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine lemon juice and minced garlic, allow the lemon juice to reduce to 1 tbsp. Add in 1 tbsp of butter, remove pan from heat and swirl so the butter starts to melt. Place back on the heat for a few seconds, remove and continue to swirl until butter completely melts. Repeat with second tbsp of butter. When butter is completely melted, remove sauce from stove.

Place the salmon filet in a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Using a brush or spoon, brush the salmon with the garlic butter sauce. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cover with foil so that all sides are properly closed so the sauce does not leak.

Bake the salmon for 12-14 minutes or until firm. Open the foil and allow the fish to broil under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it so the fish does not burn. Remove from oven, serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
This is my go-to salmon recipe. I don't usually do the broiler step at the end and Garrett prefers his without the red pepper flakes.
