1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
In a small bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the minced garlic and lemon juice until well combined.
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices.
