  2. Line the baking pan with aluminum foil, then place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the center of the foil.
  3. Nestle fresh lemon slices underneath the salmon fillet.

  5. Pour three-quarters of the buttery mixture over the salmon and season with kosher salt and black pepper.

  7. Bake for approximately 17 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
