This is how to make the EASIEST Butter Ghee Salmon. It's lightly seasoned, basted in melted butter then baked with lemon wedges, that's it! This recipe uses a few ingredients which are the exact same ingredients that I used for my fluffy naan bread recipe ! I mean why not? I had this rich ghee, butter, garlic and herbs all ready to go. Basted it over the salmon and had one of the best salmon dinners!

What to season and flavor salmon with?

Salmon will always be a classic serve with a simple seasoning lemon and garlic. However, you can add any of your favorite herbs and spices.

What temperature should you cook salmon?

I oven baked my salmon on 180°C. I add another one and a half to two minutes to put it under the grill. The grill 1 to 2 minutes is optional but suggested for a better texture on the top. There are a lot of recipes that bake salmon at 200°C /400°F but I find that too high for tender salmon.

What internal temperature should salmon be?

It should be anywhere between 58°C/135°F when using an instant read thermometer. The only reason I know that this is the right internal temperature for salmon is because after trying different temps this is for us, as tender as it should be.

Honestly I stick to the time first and foremost and check the temperature just before turning the grill on. By the time you've added the 1 to 2 minutes grilling time plus resting time, you have a safely cooked tender salmon.

Serving Butter Salmon Ghee
